Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Beacon Hill, Essex
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Beacon Hill, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we handle shower tray repair in Beacon Hill
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Beacon Hill
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Beacon Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Beacon Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Beacon Hill
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Beacon Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
