Shower tray repair in North Shoebury, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in North Shoebury
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Southend-on-Sea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
FAQs for North Shoebury
Do you come to North Shoebury?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to North Shoebury and the rest of Southend-on-Sea. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
