Shower tray repair in Chatham without replacing anything
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Chatham clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we’re called out for in Chatham

What we work on
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
