Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Fambridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

North Fambridge: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

We cover the whole UK, including North Fambridge and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Common problems we fix in North Fambridge

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
