Shower tray repair in Westcliff-on-Sea

Shower tray repair in Westcliff-on-Sea, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a crack across the base.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Westcliff-on-Sea

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Westcliff-on-Sea

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire 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 entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we work on in Westcliff-on-Sea

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westcliff-on-Sea

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
