Do you need shower tray repair in Harold Wood?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
How we handle shower tray repair in Harold Wood
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and a dull, stained or worn surface.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Harold Wood
Do you come to Harold Wood?
We do. We send a technician to Harold Wood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What affects the price in Harold Wood
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 quote.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RM3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Harold Wood
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
