About our shower tray repair in Fernham
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Fernham
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Fernham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
What else we do in Fernham
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fernham. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
