Shower tray repair in Takeley, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chips caused during fitting, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What affects the price in Takeley
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we are called out for in Takeley
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Takeley
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Takeley?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Takeley
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Takeley?
We do. We send a technician to Takeley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
