About our shower tray repair in Loyter's Green

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Loyter's Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Loyter's Green

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Loyter's Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Loyter's Green questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
