About our shower tray repair in Northend

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Northend and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Northend

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

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, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
