Shower tray repair at your home in West Thurrock

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When to call us in West Thurrock

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Look out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Landlord and trade work in West Thurrock

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Thurrock and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

West Thurrock: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
