Your questions about shower tray repair in Maylandsea

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Maylandsea clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Maylandsea

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Maylandsea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
