Shower tray repair at your home in Chestfield
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Chestfield
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Chestfield
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Signs you need shower tray repair in Chestfield
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Common reasons people in Chestfield contact us include:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
