Choosing a repair company

About our shower tray repair in Tolleshunt Major

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Tolleshunt Major questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tolleshunt Major

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
