Shower tray repair in Southend, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and chips caused during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Southend
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southend
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Repairing versus replacing in Southend
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
