DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Questions from Kingsdown
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What else we do in Kingsdown
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Repairing versus replacing in Kingsdown
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. 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.
