Questions from Great Bardfield
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How we handle shower tray repair in Great Bardfield
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 repair lasts. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Common problems we fix in Great Bardfield
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
