Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Landlord and trade work in Little Parndon

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Little Parndon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Little Parndon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Little Parndon: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover Little Parndon?

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

Are there extra charges for Little Parndon?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Little Parndon

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

Signs you need shower tray repair in Little Parndon

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
