Shower tray repair in Farningham, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron

What we’re called out for in Farningham
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to 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, including clearing up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What affects the price in Farningham
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Farningham. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Farningham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
