Shower Tray Repair in Boxted Cross
Problem with your shower tray in Boxted Cross? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. 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 we match the gloss when we repair them.
Common questions in Boxted Cross
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you need shower tray repair in Boxted Cross?
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
