How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Shower tray repair in Charlton-in-Dover without replacing anything

Questions from Charlton-in-Dover
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Repairing versus replacing in Charlton-in-Dover
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Charlton-in-Dover, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
