About our shower tray repair in Little Conghurst
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Little Conghurst?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Common questions in Little Conghurst
Are there extra charges for Little Conghurst?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Conghurst as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
