Shower tray repair at your home in Ripe
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims.
In a village like Ripe, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Replacement in Ripe means trades, travel and waste removal, while shower tray repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We will 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 flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Ripe
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
