Shower tray repair in Great Notley, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Notley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.
Great Notley questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Great Notley.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Notley. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
