Shower tray repair in Charing, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix damage around the waste and a crack across the base, in acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Charing questions
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Charing?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Repair or replace in Charing?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we’re called out for in Charing
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
