Shower tray repair in Benover, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common problems we fix in Benover
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Benover
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Benover: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Benover. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the whole UK
Take a look at our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
