How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use. In a London neighbourhood like Hornchurch Marshes, we sort parking first: a permit or bay close to the door helps. Nothing is taken out of the property; the work happens where the shower tray is.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Shower tray repair in Hornchurch Marshes, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a crack across the base, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
Shower rooms around Hornchurch Marshes are often small, with the tray boxed in by the screen and tiles. Replacing it disturbs all of that, so we repair it in place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Hornchurch Marshes
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
Rented homes near Dagenham Dock station (about 1 mile north-west) change hands frequently, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Prices and what affects them

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
