Shower tray repair in Stocks Green without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a crack across the base and chips on the edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Stocks Green?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stocks Green. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Stocks Green
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface

Questions from Stocks Green
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
