Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Repair or replace in Kilmington?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Kilmington
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Kilmington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
