Questions from Hastingwood
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Hastingwood?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Hastingwood and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hastingwood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
