Shower tray repair in Tankerton without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Tankerton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
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.

FAQs for Tankerton
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Tankerton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT5 postcode.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Repair or replace in Tankerton?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Do you need shower tray repair in Tankerton?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
