Moulsham: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you need shower tray repair in Moulsham?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Moulsham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
