Shower tray repair at your home in Sundridge
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and movement when you stand on it, in acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sundridge and across Kent.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sundridge
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
When to call us in Sundridge

Clients usually contact us about:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
