Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Jack's Hatch
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Jack's Hatch?
We do. We send a technician to Jack's Hatch for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need 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.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Jack's Hatch

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
