Shower tray repair in Debden without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, across cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Debden. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Debden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Debden
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Debden included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
