Shower tray repair at your home in Cranbrook
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cranbrook and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Cranbrook
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cranbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Cranbrook
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Cranbrook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Cranbrook
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cranbrook.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What affects the price in Cranbrook
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Cranbrook, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
