About our shower tray repair in Harwich
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Harwich, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Harwich
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harwich as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Harwich
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Harwich
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Harwich?
We do. Technicians travel to Harwich from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Harwich
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
