Shower tray repair near Waltham Abbey

Questions from Waltham Abbey

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Everywhere in the UK, Waltham Abbey included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in Waltham Abbey?

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Waltham Abbey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. 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 is not visible.
