How we handle shower tray repair in Kennington
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we’re called out for in Kennington
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kennington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
