Takeley Street questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Takeley Street?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Takeley Street. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Takeley Street and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Do you need shower tray repair in Takeley Street?
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
