Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Rivenhall
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover Rivenhall?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Rivenhall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rivenhall
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rivenhall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rivenhall, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What affects the price in Rivenhall
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rivenhall. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
