Shower tray repair in Southend, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally 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.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Southend get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southend as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Southend: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Southend?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
