Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Singlewell or Ifield?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Questions from Singlewell or Ifield
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
