Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Stapleford Tawney questions

Do you come out to small places like Stapleford Tawney?

We do: small places like Stapleford Tawney are covered as standard. Just mention any tricky access.

How long before I can shower?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Across the UK, and that includes Stapleford Tawney. Prices do not change with location.

Do you work in Stapleford Tawney?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stapleford Tawney. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stapleford Tawney

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stapleford Tawney as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Stapleford Tawney

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go. For a rural address like Stapleford Tawney, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Stapleford Tawney

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stapleford Tawney. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
