Repairs by material
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 is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for East Grinstead
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is

Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Common problems we fix in East Grinstead
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for these signs:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
