Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Harlow. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Harlow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Shower tray repair in Harlow, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, across acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Harlow
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you cover Harlow?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Harlow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harlow

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.
