About our shower tray repair in Great Baddow
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Baddow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What affects the price in Great Baddow
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
