How we handle shower tray repair in Elmstone
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Elmstone and across Kent.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Do you need shower tray repair in Elmstone?

- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A crack across the base
- Chipped corners or rims
