Shower tray repair at your home in Chase Cross
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit, in cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive

- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Questions from Chase Cross
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Chase Cross and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What affects the price in Chase Cross
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once

- What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chase Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
