DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Shower tray repair at your home in Greatstone-on-Sea
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Greatstone-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
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 tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Greatstone-on-Sea. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Greatstone-on-Sea
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Common problems we fix in Greatstone-on-Sea
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
