Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Shelley, Essex
Shower tray repair in and around Shelley: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Shelley
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What else we do in Shelley
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Shelley
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, 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’ll arrange it.
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
