Shower tray repair at your home in Great Wakering
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. 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, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Great Wakering
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Wakering. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Great Wakering
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
