Shower tray repair in Colwood, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you need shower tray repair in Colwood?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice

- Who will actually do the work
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
