How we handle shower tray repair in Folkestone
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Folkestone and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Folkestone
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Folkestone
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Folkestone questions
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
