Problem with your shower tray in Stondon? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we handle shower tray repair in Stondon
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Stondon?
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
