Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Darenth. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Darenth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Darenth
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Darenth is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Common problems we fix in Darenth

Common reasons people in Darenth contact us are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

You do not 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 quote.
