Shower tray repair at your home in Basildon
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.
Landlord and trade work in Basildon
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Take a look at our pricing.
What affects the price in Basildon
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: 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 photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
