FAQs for Tendring Green

What information do you need?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Shower tray repair in Tendring Green, 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. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
