Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Howegreen questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Repair or replace in Howegreen?
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. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
