Shower tray repair in Ashford without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ashford and across Kent.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ashford questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Ashford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Ashford?
We do. We send a technician to Ashford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
