Shower tray repair in Hacklinge, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hacklinge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we are called out for in Hacklinge
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss 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 will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Other services in Hacklinge
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hacklinge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Hacklinge questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CT14 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
