How we handle shower tray repair in Clatterford End
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need shower tray repair in Clatterford End?
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’re called about are:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Clatterford End: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clatterford End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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 day after.
