What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

What else we do in Saffron Walden
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What affects the price in Saffron Walden
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Questions from Saffron Walden
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Common problems we fix in Saffron Walden
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saffron Walden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
