About our shower tray repair in Swanscombe
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. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and staining and dullness across the tray, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we are called out for in Swanscombe
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common questions in Swanscombe
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
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, where it causes damage you cannot see.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
