About our shower tray repair in Fant
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and a cracked shower tray, across stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fant and across Kent.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Fant
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Fant questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Fant is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fant use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 don’t 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 we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fant. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What else we do in Fant
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 normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
