Do you need shower tray repair in Lexden?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
Shower tray repair in Lexden, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Lexden
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, 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 it’s worth repairing early.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
