Shower tray repair at your home in Great Saling
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. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base, across ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What else we do in Great Saling
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How the visit works
We turn 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. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day 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.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Saling
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
