Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Shower tray repair in Tilbury without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and a damaged area around the waste, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Tilbury questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Thurrock. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Tilbury?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
