Shower tray repair in Withermarsh Green without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Withermarsh Green and across Essex.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Withermarsh Green: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we’re called out for in Withermarsh Green

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
