Shower tray repair in Paglesham

Shower tray repair in Paglesham without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos 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.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Paglesham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Paglesham?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Paglesham customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

Your questions about shower tray repair in Paglesham

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Everywhere in the UK, Paglesham included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Paglesham?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work in Paglesham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Paglesham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
