About our shower tray repair in Bearsted
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bearsted as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Bearsted questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Bearsted?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME14 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Bearsted
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bearsted as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
