Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
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.
Shower tray repair in Chilham, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Chilham
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Chilham: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Chilham?
We do. We send a technician to Chilham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
What we are called out for in Chilham
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
