Shower tray repair in Pilsgate, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t 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 ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Pilsgate
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What else we do in Pilsgate
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
