- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.

Advice
Shower tray repair in Hothfield without replacing anything
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Hothfield
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Prices and what affects them

- How much damage there is

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need shower tray repair in Hothfield?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
