About our shower tray repair in South Kilvington
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to South Kilvington. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in South Kilvington, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
South Kilvington: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are there extra charges for South Kilvington?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
