Shower tray repair for Malting Green homes

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we handle shower tray repair in Malting Green

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Malting Green

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Malting Green

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Malting Green

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Common questions in Malting Green

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are there extra charges for Malting Green?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
