Shower tray repair at your home in Manwood Green

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Rural addresses like Manwood Green just need a little planning, and we will plan the visit around it.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it. For a rural address like Manwood Green, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Manwood Green

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Common reasons people in Manwood Green contact us are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Manwood Green

Do you cover villages like Manwood Green?

Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Do you work for landlords with property near Sawbridgeworth station?

Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is typically quicker than replacing.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Manwood Green and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Replacement in Manwood Green means trades, travel and waste removal, while shower tray repair is one trip.

Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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