Shower tray repair in Ramsden Bellhouse without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ramsden Bellhouse and across Essex.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price
