What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Common problems we fix in Cess

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Cess

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you come to Cess?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cess and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What affects the price in Cess

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
