Shower tray repair in Goldhanger, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Goldhanger
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Advice
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Goldhanger?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Questions from Goldhanger
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
