Shower tray repair in Dover, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.
Dover and the surrounding area
Dover is in Kent. Whether you are in the middle of Dover or on the outskirts, we offer exactly the same service: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Dover is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. We work right across the region, from Dover to London (65 miles away).
Jobs in CT17, CT16, CT15 and CT14 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes on London Road, High Street and Church Road. Being close to the A2 and A20, Dover is easy for our repair technicians to reach. We also cover the places around Dover: River (1 mile north-west), Maxton (1 mile south), Kearsney (1 mile north-west), Whitfield (1 mile north) and Temple Ewell (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (14 miles north-west), Folkestone (7 miles south-west), Ramsgate (15 miles north), Deal (7 miles north-east), Hythe (11 miles south-west) and Walmer (6 miles north-east).

Landmarks near Dover

Other local landmarks include Shatterlocks Infant School (less than half a mile north-west), The Bull pub (within half a mile south-west) and St Edmund's Catholic School (under half a mile south-east). For rail, the closest station is Dover Priory station, roughly 0.9 miles south of the centre.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Dover, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Dover
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

Repair or replace in Dover?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Dover
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Dover?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Dover?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
