How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Hawkinge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawkinge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
FAQs for Hawkinge
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you come to Hawkinge?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hawkinge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Hawkinge included. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Hawkinge
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
