Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Hackington
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hackington?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
