What affects the price in Walstead

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Walstead. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Walstead, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

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

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Walstead

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Questions from Walstead

How long before I can shower?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there any odour?

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

What information do you need?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
