Maldon: your questions answered
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Maldon.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
