Shower tray repair in Southend, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, in cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Southend
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Should you replace it?

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Southend. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage

- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Southend questions
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you come to Southend?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Southend for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
