What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: 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 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 care for it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What else we do in Purfleet-on-Thames
Why repair rather than replace?

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
