Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Cranbrook, Greater London
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Cranbrook and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Shower tray repair at your home in Cranbrook
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Common questions in Cranbrook
Do you cover Cranbrook?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cranbrook from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What else we do in Cranbrook
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cranbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your photos

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Cranbrook
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Cranbrook
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
