Shower tray repair in Nevendon without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Nevendon. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Nevendon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Questions from Nevendon

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
