Shower tray repair near Little Braxted

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

About our shower tray repair in Little Braxted

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Little Braxted

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover Little Braxted?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Little Braxted and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
