Landlords, agents and businesses in Boughton Corner
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
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.
Shower tray repair in Boughton Corner, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Boughton Corner
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
