Knave's Ash: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Knave's Ash.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you work in Knave's Ash?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Knave's Ash and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Shower tray repair at your home in Knave's Ash
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Knave's Ash
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
