DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Blake End. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Blake End get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Common questions in Blake End
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Blake End and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
