Shower tray repair in Earnley, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, across acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Somewhere like Earnley, showers are often in converted or older buildings, where floors may be timber. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Earnley
Do you take on commercial work in Earnley?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
Do you come out to small places like Earnley?
Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, at no extra charge.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you need shower tray repair in Earnley?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
Facilities teams at buildings such as East Wittering Community Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.

What else we do in Earnley
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. In an older home in a village like Earnley, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step

Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

- Next we clean and prepare the tray.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
