Shower tray repair in Kentmere, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Kentmere
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Kentmere and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Kentmere
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Kentmere is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
