Shower tray repair in Fordham Heath without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, 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 a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Fordham Heath
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When to call us in Fordham Heath
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Common reasons people in Fordham Heath contact us include:
- A tray that flexes
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Fordham Heath questions
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
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.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work in Fordham Heath?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fordham Heath and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How quickly can you book me in?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
