- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our shower tray repair in Bowmans
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common problems we fix in Bowmans
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Common questions in Bowmans
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cover the whole UK, including Bowmans and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Bowmans?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Bowmans.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
