DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Shower tray repair in Great Leighs, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and chips on the edges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Leighs. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Leighs
Do you come to Great Leighs?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Leighs for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Great Leighs?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice

What else we do in Great Leighs
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Great Leighs
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Common problems we fix in Great Leighs
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
