What affects the price in Halstead
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Halstead. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
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 to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
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.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
