Repairing versus replacing in Theydon Bois
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Shower tray repair in Theydon Bois, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Theydon Bois. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Theydon Bois and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
When to call us in Theydon Bois
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to care for the finish
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Questions from Theydon Bois
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
