How we handle shower tray repair in Chelmsford
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chelmsford. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Chelmsford: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Landlord and trade work in Chelmsford
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
