About our shower tray repair in Little Oakley
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and chips on the edges, in acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

When to call us in Little Oakley
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
What affects the price in Little Oakley
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
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.
