Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Crays Hill. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Crays Hill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Common problems we fix in Crays Hill
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Crays Hill questions
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Crays Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Crays Hill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
