Shower tray repair in Swanley, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray, across ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Somewhere like Swanley, showers are often in converted or older buildings, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. In an older home in a village like Swanley, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Swanley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Landlord and trade work in Swanley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it. In a village or hamlet like Swanley, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole 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 whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Swanley
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A crack across the base
Landlords with property near Cam & Dursley station (about 4.9 miles north-east) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.
