Need shower tray repair in South Hornchurch?

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

Shower tray repair in South Hornchurch without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in South Hornchurch and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in South Hornchurch

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

When to call us in South Hornchurch

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

FAQs for South Hornchurch

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so South Hornchurch is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around South Hornchurch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
