Shower Tray Repair in Leavenheath
Local shower tray repair for Leavenheath: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Leavenheath questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Leavenheath and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we’re called out for in Leavenheath
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Leavenheath, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
