How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Little Clacton

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Little Clacton and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Common problems we fix in Little Clacton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Little Clacton clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
