How we handle shower tray repair in Kinsham
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and chips caused during fitting, across stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kinsham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
What affects the price in Kinsham
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Kinsham
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.
Common reasons people in Kinsham contact us are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t 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.
Kinsham: your questions answered
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Kinsham included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
