FAQs for Chipping Ongar
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Shower tray repair in Chipping Ongar without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repair or replace in Chipping Ongar?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chipping Ongar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK

- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Chipping Ongar
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste

Landlord and trade work in Chipping Ongar
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
