What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, 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.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Shower tray repair at your home in Birdbrook
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Birdbrook
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Birdbrook
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repairing versus replacing in Birdbrook
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Birdbrook
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
