About our shower tray repair in Wethersfield

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. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

FAQs for Wethersfield

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Wethersfield?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wethersfield and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What we’re called out for in Wethersfield

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
