Shower tray repair in Foxash Estate, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and a tray that flexes.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Foxash Estate and across Essex.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Foxash Estate
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foxash Estate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Foxash Estate: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
