Shower tray repair at your home in Gravesend
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need shower tray repair in Gravesend?
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Common reasons people in Gravesend contact us are:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gravesend. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
