Shower tray repair & resurfacing in High Park Corner, Essex
Shower tray repair in and around High Park Corner: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Shower tray repair in High Park Corner without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in High Park Corner
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in High Park Corner?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CO5 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in High Park Corner
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
