What we are called out for in Mistley

Shower tray repair at your home in Mistley

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Mistley
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Mistley
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
