- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Shower tray repair in Hullbridge, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Hullbridge
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hullbridge. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Other services in Hullbridge
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
