Trusted shower tray repair in Upminster Bridge

Shower tray repair in Upminster Bridge without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Upminster Bridge

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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 will ask.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upminster Bridge

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Upminster Bridge

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
