Shower tray repair at your home in Thaxted

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Thaxted

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thaxted. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
