For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

FAQs for Hawbush Green
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Everywhere in the UK, Hawbush Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hawbush Green. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Do you need shower tray repair in Hawbush Green?
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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 price.
