What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

- A crack across the base

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Birchden get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
