A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Headcorn
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Headcorn
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
