About our shower tray repair in West Horndon
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
West Horndon: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in West Horndon
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in West Horndon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
