Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Shower tray repair in Donkey Street without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
FAQs for Donkey Street
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Donkey Street
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
