Shower tray repair in Copford, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not 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 cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Copford. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Copford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Copford: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
When to call us in Copford
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
