Shower tray repair in Kettlesing without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Kettlesing
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Kettlesing questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
