Shower tray repair in Canewdon, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and movement when you stand on it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Most customers in Canewdon get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Canewdon
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
