About our shower tray repair in Fairlight Cove
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Fairlight Cove
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Fairlight Cove
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Advice
When to call us in Fairlight Cove
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
