Shower tray repair in West Bergholt, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and staining and dullness across the tray, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

West Bergholt: your questions answered
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in West Bergholt?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for West Bergholt?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in West Bergholt
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
