About our shower tray repair in Gants Hill
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We’re frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gants Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Gants Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
