What else we do in Gay Bowers
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Gay Bowers: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near South Woodham Ferrers station?
Yes. We fix shower trays between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Do you come out to small places like Gay Bowers?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you need shower tray repair in Gay Bowers?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
If you manage a building such as Priory Primary School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Somewhere as small as Gay Bowers, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gay Bowers, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Older homes around Gay Bowers may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
