Shower tray repair in Silver End, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, across stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Silver End and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Silver End
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from Silver End
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do you work in Silver End?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Silver End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Silver End and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
