You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Alresford: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Alresford
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Alresford
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
