How we handle shower tray repair in Hockenden
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, in enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hockenden and across Kent.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
