Shower tray repair in Hockley without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and a tray that flexes.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Hockley
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work

What affects the price in Hockley
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hockley. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Hockley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Common questions in Hockley
Are there extra charges for Hockley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Hockley. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Hockley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
