Landlord and trade work in Witham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Witham
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repairing versus replacing in Witham

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
