Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Shower tray repair in Pilgrims Hatch without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

What affects the price in Pilgrims Hatch
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Pilgrims Hatch 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
