What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Shower tray repair in Finglesham, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Finglesham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you work in Finglesham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Finglesham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What affects the price in Finglesham
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Do you need shower tray repair in Finglesham?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
