Frating questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CO7 postcode.
About our shower tray repair in Frating
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Frating. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material
We don’t add 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.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.
Repair or replace in Frating?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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 it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Frating

- A dull, stained or worn surface

- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
