Questions from Buttsbury
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Shower tray repair in Buttsbury without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Buttsbury
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Buttsbury. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Buttsbury, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Buttsbury
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Common reasons people in Buttsbury contact us are:
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buttsbury use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Buttsbury
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
