Shower tray repair in Ebbsfleet Valley without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and chipped corners or rims, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ebbsfleet Valley

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
