Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Shower tray repair in North Benfleet, done in place

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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 feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
FAQs for North Benfleet
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
