About our shower tray repair in Little Waltham
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
In a village like Little Waltham, showers are often later additions to older homes, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Little Waltham and across Essex.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. For a rural home like those around Little Waltham, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again. Somewhere as small as Little Waltham, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
