- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How we handle shower tray repair in Kensington
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What affects the price in Kensington
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
