Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bocking
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 before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
