Shower Tray Repair in Kent

Shower tray repair across Kent: what to expect

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

What you’ll pay

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Signs you need shower tray repair

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray

Repair or replace?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
