Shower Tray Repair for Kelvedon homes
Problem with your shower tray in Kelvedon? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Kelvedon
The tray is normally 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Kelvedon
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Kelvedon?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kelvedon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kelvedon?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
