Shower Tray Repair in Heckfordbridge
We travel to Heckfordbridge for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle shower tray repair in Heckfordbridge
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Heckfordbridge: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Heckfordbridge?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
