- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair in Basted without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Basted
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Basted?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Basted. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlord and trade work in Basted
If you manage property in Basted, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
