Shower tray repair in Stansted, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When to call us in Stansted

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we work on in Stansted

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Stansted

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover Stansted?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Stansted and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
