How we handle shower tray repair in Tilgate
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, across ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Tilgate
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Common reasons people in Tilgate contact us are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tilgate
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Tilgate: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
