Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frinton-on-Sea

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

FAQs for Frinton-on-Sea

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you work in Frinton-on-Sea?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Frinton-on-Sea from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Frinton-on-Sea and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
