Shower tray repair in Wivenhoe Quay without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wivenhoe Quay as everywhere else we work.

Wivenhoe Quay questions
Do you work in Wivenhoe Quay?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Wivenhoe Quay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Do you need shower tray repair in Wivenhoe Quay?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
