Monks Eleigh questions
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
About our shower tray repair in Monks Eleigh
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
