Our shower tray repair service in Southend-on-Sea
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Cost
Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Southend-on-Sea
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Southend-on-Sea: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
