About our shower tray repair in Thorpe-le-Soken
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and damage from a refit or building work, in stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorpe-le-Soken and across Essex.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
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.
Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Thorpe-le-Soken
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe-le-Soken
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common questions in Thorpe-le-Soken
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Thorpe-le-Soken. Prices don’t change with location.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Thorpe-le-Soken.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
