FAQs for Orsett

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Shower tray repair in Orsett, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Orsett

If you manage property in Orsett, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When to call us in Orsett

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What affects the price in Orsett

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
