About our shower tray repair in Troy Town
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire 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 typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Troy Town questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Troy Town.
Do you come to Troy Town?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Troy Town and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Landlord and trade work in Troy Town
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Troy Town. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
