When chips, cracks, or stains appear in your shower tray, professional shower tray repair Corringham services offer the perfect solution. From the established estates around Lampits Hill to the newer developments near the Petrochemical Works, damaged shower trays are a common problem that we've been solving for Thurrock residents for over three decades.
The mix of 1960s council estates, modern private developments, and converted properties throughout Corringham creates diverse shower tray repair challenges. Whether you're dealing with an original ceramic tray showing its age in a Springhouse Road property or a cracked resin tray in a new-build near Giffords Cross, our expert technicians deliver lasting repairs backed by our comprehensive 12 months warranty.
Most homeowners don't realize that shower tray damage often starts small but quickly worsens without proper repair. A tiny chip from a dropped shampoo bottle becomes a water trap, leading to staining and eventual cracking. In Corringham's mix of property types, from the Frost Estate terraces to modern apartments in Central Avenue, we see consistent patterns of damage that our 30 years of experience helps us quickly identify and repair.
Stone resin shower trays, increasingly popular in Corringham's renovated properties, are particularly susceptible to impact damage. While these trays look premium and feel solid underfoot, they can chip more easily than traditional ceramic. However, when professionally repaired using color-matched compounds, the damage becomes completely invisible and the repair often proves stronger than the original material.
Acrylic shower trays, common in quick bathroom refurbishments throughout the SS17 area, face different challenges. They're more flexible, which prevents cracking, but they're prone to surface scratches and can develop stress fractures around the waste area. Our specialized acrylic repair techniques restore both the appearance and structural integrity, preventing costly water damage to floors below.
While DIY repair kits are available at Corringham's retail parks, they rarely provide lasting solutions. Professional shower tray repair requires specific knowledge of materials, proper surface preparation, and commercial-grade compounds not available to consumers. Our repairs carry a 12 months warranty because we use techniques refined over 30 years, ensuring the repair bonds permanently and matches perfectly.

The Frost Estate, with its distinctive 1960s architecture, often features original bathroom fittings that benefit from professional restoration rather than replacement.

A busy family of five near Lampits Hill Recreation Ground contacted us about their badly chipped acrylic shower tray. Years of daily use by teenagers had resulted in multiple chips and a 6-inch crack developing from the waste area. They'd been quoted £1,850 for replacement, which would have meant retiling half the bathroom.
Our technician completed the repair in just 2.5 hours, reinforcing the crack from beneath and perfectly color-matching the white acrylic surface. Total cost: £325, saving the family over £1,500. Six months later (still within our 12 months warranty), the repair looks perfect despite continued heavy use. The parents were particularly impressed that we could complete the work while the children were at school, minimizing disruption.
The owner of a 2018-built apartment discovered their expensive grey stone-resin shower tray had developed three chips after dropping a glass soap dispenser. Being a high-spec property, they were concerned about maintaining standards for eventual resale. The developer quoted £2,200 for replacement as the exact model was no longer available.
Using our 30 years of color-matching expertise, we perfectly replicated the slate-grey finish with subtle sparkle effect. The repair took 3 hours and cost £385. The property management company couldn't identify where the repairs had been made and have since recommended us for other units in the development. Our 12 months warranty provided the confidence they needed for such a visible repair.
Every successful shower tray repair begins with proper diagnosis. Our technicians, with 30 years of combined experience, identify not just the visible damage but underlying causes. This comprehensive approach ensures our repairs last, which is why we confidently offer our 12 months warranty on all work.
We thoroughly clean the damaged area and check for any structural issues. For Corringham properties, we pay special attention to previous DIY repair attempts that might need removing. The tray surface is then properly prepared using professional-grade materials.
Cracks are stabilized using flexible compounds that move with the tray, preventing re-cracking. For properties in older Corringham estates where floor movement is common, we use extra-flexible materials. Chips are filled in layers, allowing each to cure properly.
Using color-matched materials, we rebuild the surface to match your tray exactly. Whether it's high-gloss white, matt grey, or textured anti-slip, we replicate the original finish perfectly. This stage requires the expertise that comes from 30 years of professional experience.
Finally, we reseal the tray edges with premium sealant, ensuring no water can penetrate. This is crucial for preventing damage to flooring - particularly important in Corringham's many first-floor bathrooms where leaks can damage ceilings below.
