Repairing versus replacing in Rayleigh
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Do you need shower tray repair in Rayleigh?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rayleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rayleigh, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Rayleigh
Are there extra charges for Rayleigh?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
