Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle shower tray repair in Shirkoak
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shirkoak and across Kent.

When to call us in Shirkoak
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting

FAQs for Shirkoak
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Shirkoak?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Shirkoak and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What else we do in Shirkoak
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you 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, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price

Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shirkoak. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
