Shower tray repair at your home in Cocking
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Cocking
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Cocking
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
