About our shower tray repair in Tilbury Juxta Clare

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tilbury Juxta Clare

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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

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. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Tilbury Juxta Clare

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What shower tray repair costs
