Shower tray repair in Bapchild, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and cracks running from the waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bapchild as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What affects the price in Bapchild
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Questions from Bapchild
How much does shower tray repair cost in Bapchild?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Bapchild?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bapchild and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
