Shower tray repair for Waltham Cross homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Waltham Cross

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we are called out for in Waltham Cross

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Waltham Cross. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Waltham Cross

Are you accredited?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
