How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Tilmanstone
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Tilmanstone: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do I have to be there?
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 stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Enamelled steel

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
