Shower tray repair in Wendens Ambo, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
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 or gets worse.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wendens Ambo. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Wendens Ambo and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Wendens Ambo
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wendens Ambo
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Wendens Ambo?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wendens Ambo and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
