Shower Tray Repair in Budds
Shower tray repair in and around Budds: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How we handle shower tray repair in Budds
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 enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Budds
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Budds
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in Budds
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
