How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thundersley. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places

Materials we work on in Thundersley
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Common questions in Thundersley
Do you cover Thundersley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thundersley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Thundersley and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?

What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
