Shower tray repair in East Horndon without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from East Horndon
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
