Need shower tray repair in Redbridge?

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Redbridge. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Redbridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Redbridge

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Do you need shower tray repair in Redbridge?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches

  • Damage from a refit or building work

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Redbridge

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redbridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
