How we handle shower tray repair in Childerditch
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Childerditch
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Childerditch: your questions answered
Do you work in Childerditch?
We do. We send a technician to Childerditch for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

Signs you need shower tray repair in Childerditch
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
