Shower tray repair in Little Canfield

What we’re called out for in Little Canfield

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

Shower tray repair in Little Canfield, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Canfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Canfield. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Little Canfield and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Little Canfield: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Little Canfield.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
