In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hollingbourne. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Hollingbourne and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Hollingbourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we’re called out for in Hollingbourne

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
