Cracked shower trays, unsightly chips, and stubborn stains don't have to mean expensive replacement. Our shower tray repair Saffron Walden service has been solving these exact problems for homeowners across this historic market town for three decades, backed by our comprehensive 12 months warranty.
From the medieval cottages near Castle Street to the modern developments off Radwinter Road, Saffron Walden's diverse property types each present unique shower tray challenges. Whether you're dealing with a hairline crack in your Victorian townhouse or impact damage in a new-build estate, our expert technicians understand exactly how to restore your shower tray to perfect condition without the disruption and cost of replacement.
Most shower tray damage in Saffron Walden properties falls into four main categories, each requiring specific repair expertise we've refined over 30 years. Understanding your damage type helps us provide accurate quotes and lasting repairs.
Impact Chips: The most common issue, typically caused by dropping bottles or soap dispensers. These surface chips may seem minor but can harbour bacteria and worsen over time. Properties near the Market Square often feature ceramic trays particularly prone to chipping. Our colour-matched repair compounds restore the surface perfectly, preventing water ingress and maintaining hygiene standards.
Stress Cracks: Common in resin and acrylic trays, especially in newer developments around Thaxted Road and Little Walden Road. Building settlement or incorrect installation causes flexing that creates hairline cracks. We use flexible repair systems that move with the tray, preventing crack reappearance - all covered by our 12 months warranty.
Surface Wear: Period properties throughout the conservation area often have original shower trays showing decades of use. The non-slip surface becomes smooth and potentially dangerous. Our resurfacing service restores both appearance and safety without disturbing original features.
Discoloration: Common in properties near Audley End where older trays have yellowed or stained. Professional restoration returns them to original brightness, saving hundreds compared to replacement while maintaining your bathroom's character.

A Grade II listed property near the market required careful shower tray restoration. The original 1960s ceramic tray had multiple chips and a 20cm crack threatening the ceiling below. Replacement would have meant removing period tiles and potentially damaging the listed fabric of the building.
Our specialist used conservation-approved materials to stabilize the crack from below, then surface-repaired the visible damage with perfectly matched ceramic compounds. The repair took 4 hours and cost £385 - compared to £3,000+ for replacement requiring listed building consent. Two years later (well beyond our 12 months warranty), the repair remains perfect. The property owner was delighted to preserve original features while ensuring modern reliability.
A family in a 3-year-old property discovered their premium resin shower tray had cracked, just outside the builder's warranty. The anthracite-colored tray would cost £1,200 to replace, plus tiling work.
We repaired the 15cm crack using flexible compounds designed for resin trays, perfectly matching the dark grey finish. Total cost: £295 with our 12 months warranty. The repair has proven more durable than the original installation, demonstrating the value of professional repair over replacement.
A Saffron Walden landlord faced three damaged shower trays across their portfolio. Replacement would mean weeks without rental income plus £4,500 in costs. We repaired all three trays in one day - acrylic, ceramic, and fiberglass.
Using our 30 years of experience, each repair was tailored to the specific tray type. Total cost: £685 for all three, with 12 months warranty on each. The properties remained tenanted throughout, and the repairs have lasted over 18 months with heavy use.
