Shower tray repair in White Roding without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray, in ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs

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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in White Roding

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in White Roding as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in White Roding

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, 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.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price
