About our shower tray repair in Sandown
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Sandown
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Sandown and the rest of Isle of Wight. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
