Shower tray repair at your home in East Tilbury
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Tilbury as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in East Tilbury
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
FAQs for East Tilbury
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Repair or replace in East Tilbury?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in East Tilbury
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
