Shower tray repair at your home in Mashbury
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Questions from Mashbury
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Mashbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
