Bocking's Elm questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Bocking's Elm?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CO16 postcode.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bocking's Elm.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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.
Why Bocking's Elm clients choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bocking's Elm, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
