Common questions in Marden Ash

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Marden Ash?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Marden Ash?

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Marden Ash

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Common reasons people in Marden Ash contact us are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

  • Movement when you stand on it

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
