The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Flishinghurst
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Repair or replace in Flishinghurst?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Flishinghurst. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
