Shower tray repair in Alphamstone without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place

Alphamstone questions
How much does shower tray repair cost in Alphamstone?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Alphamstone?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Alphamstone and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Alphamstone?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it

Landlord and trade work in Alphamstone
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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 to keep costs down.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Alphamstone
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Alphamstone. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
