Your questions about shower tray repair in North Ockendon

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
