We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Ab Kettleby questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.
