How we handle shower tray repair in Matching Tye
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Matching Tye
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Everywhere in the UK, Matching Tye included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Repair or replace in Matching Tye?

What affects the price in Matching Tye
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Matching Tye. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Matching Tye, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Matching Tye
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
If you’re in Matching Tye and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
