How we handle shower tray repair in Stagden Cross
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stagden Cross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Stagden Cross: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stagden Cross. The price reflects:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What else we do in Stagden Cross
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stagden Cross
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stagden Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
