When your shower tray develops chips, cracks, or unsightly stains, shower tray repair Harlow specialists provide the fast, cost-effective solution. From the modern developments in Newhall to the established neighborhoods of Old Harlow, we fix damaged shower trays without the expense and disruption of replacement.
Harlow's unique position as a post-war New Town means properties range from original 1950s corporation houses to cutting-edge sustainable developments. Each era brought different bathroom designs and shower tray materials - all of which we've mastered over our 30 years serving Essex homes. Whether you're dealing with a cracked acrylic tray in Church Langley or a chipped stone-resin base in The High, our 12 months warranty ensures lasting repairs.
Modern shower trays come in numerous materials, each requiring specialized repair techniques. Our shower tray repair Harlow service has developed expertise in every type found across the town's diverse housing stock. The popular stone-resin trays in Newhall's eco-homes need different treatment than the ceramic trays in Old Harlow's period properties.
Acrylic shower trays, common in Harlow's 1980s and 1990s estates like Great Parndon and Little Parndon, often develop stress cracks around the waste area. These require flexible repair compounds that move with the tray's natural expansion. Our 30 years of experience means we know exactly which materials work best for each situation.
The newer developments around Harlow Town Station and Gilden Way feature premium shower trays with gel-coat finishes. When these chip, the damage is highly visible against the glossy surface. We use professional polishing equipment to restore the original shine after repair, making damage completely invisible.

Our Repair Costs:
The historic heart of Harlow around Churchgate Street and Market Street features many period properties with traditional ceramic shower trays. These quality fixtures are worth preserving, and our repair techniques maintain their authentic appearance. We regularly work in properties near Harlow Mill station and the Old Harlow conservation area, where replacement would damage period features.
We also cover smaller villages around Harlow including Latton, Hastingwood, and Harlow Common. These rural properties often have unique bathroom configurations where shower tray replacement would be particularly disruptive.
Harlow's original New Town neighborhoods - Mark Hall, Netteswell, Bush Fair, and Staple Tye - contain thousands of homes built between the 1950s and 1970s. Many still have original bathroom fittings that, while dated in appearance, remain structurally sound. Our shower tray resurfacing service can transform these older trays, updating colors and restoring surfaces for a fraction of replacement cost.
The Hare Street, Potter Street, and Tye Green areas see frequent calls for shower tray repair, particularly in family homes where daily use takes its toll. Our 12 months warranty provides peace of mind for busy households.
Church Langley, Newhall, and the new Gilden Park developments represent Harlow's growth areas. These modern homes feature contemporary shower rooms with designer resin and stone-composite trays. When these premium fixtures get damaged, replacement costs are substantial - often £800-1,500 just for the tray.
Properties near the Harvey Centre and Water Gardens often have compact bathrooms where accessing the shower tray for replacement would require removing the entire shower enclosure. Our in-situ repairs avoid this disruption completely.
A family in the Newhall development contacted us about their 3-year-old anthracite resin shower tray. Moving furniture upstairs had resulted in a heavy toolbox being dropped, creating a 4cm star-shaped crack with multiple chips. The premium Italian tray would cost £950 to replace, plus installation costs.
Our technician arrived the same day and spent 3 hours meticulously rebuilding the damaged area. Using color-matched compounds and our 30 years of expertise, the repair is completely invisible. Total cost: £345, saving the customer over £1,500. Six months later (still within our 12 months warranty), the repair remains perfect despite daily use by a family of five.
An elderly couple in Potter Street had a turquoise ceramic shower tray from the 1960s - a color no longer available. Years of use had created several chips around the waste area, and a builder quoted £1,800 for replacement including necessary retiling. The couple were devastated at potentially losing this original feature.
We carefully color-matched the unique turquoise shade and repaired all damage in just 2 hours. The tray now looks pristine while maintaining its period character. Cost: £285 with our full 12 months warranty. The couple were thrilled to preserve this piece of their home's history while saving significant money.

Several factors cause shower tray damage in Harlow homes. The town's clay soil can cause slight property movement, stressing rigid installations. Temperature changes in poorly insulated bathrooms create expansion/contraction cycles. Impact damage from dropped items is the most common cause. With 30 years experience, we've seen how Harlow's mix of property ages and types each present unique challenges.
Our professional repairs typically last 5-10 years or more with normal use. The 12 months warranty covers any unlikely failures, but most repairs far exceed this period. We use materials specifically designed for wet environments and constant temperature changes. Many repairs we completed in Harlow properties during the 2000s are still perfect today.
Yes, we carry extensive color-matching materials and can blend custom shades. Harlow's properties feature everything from standard white to designer greys and even vintage colors from the 1960s-70s.
