How we handle shower tray repair in Fingringhoe
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Fingringhoe and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Fingringhoe questions
Do you come to Fingringhoe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Fingringhoe. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Fingringhoe included. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

- Next we clean and prepare the 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 usually usable the day after.
