A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What else we do in Broad Tenterden
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Do you need shower tray repair in Broad Tenterden?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Broad Tenterden questions
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
