How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Shower tray repair in Colt's Hill, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Colt's Hill
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Across the UK, so Colt's Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
When to call us in Colt's Hill
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
