Do you need shower tray repair in Printstile?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste

Landlords, agents and businesses in Printstile
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Printstile questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Printstile.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Repair or replace in Printstile?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. 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
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
