Landlords, agents and businesses in Bessels Green
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we handle shower tray repair in Bessels Green
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base, in cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Bessels Green
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
