Shower Tray Repair in Stansted Mountfitchet
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Stansted Mountfitchet and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Shower tray repair in Stansted Mountfitchet without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stansted Mountfitchet. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Stansted Mountfitchet questions
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
