How we handle shower tray repair in Bobbingworth
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Bobbingworth and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
