Trusted shower tray repair in Sewardstonebury

Shower tray repair in Sewardstonebury, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Sewardstonebury

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Does someone need to be in?

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

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.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What we are called out for in Sewardstonebury

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your E4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sewardstonebury. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
