Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Shower tray repair in West Brompton without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months in West Brompton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need shower tray repair in West Brompton
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for West Brompton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
