Shower tray repair in Kempston Hardwick without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Kempston Hardwick
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Common reasons people in Kempston Hardwick contact us include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kempston Hardwick
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kempston Hardwick.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
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.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
