Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Shower tray repair in Kirby-le-Soken without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Kirby-le-Soken questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What we are called out for in Kirby-le-Soken
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- 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 generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CO13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
