Shower tray repair in The Sands without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and cracks running from the waste, in ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in The Sands as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about shower tray repair in The Sands
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GU10 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
