How we handle shower tray repair in Hythe
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Hythe
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hythe. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Common questions in Hythe
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace in Hythe?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hythe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Hythe
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Common reasons people in Hythe contact us include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hythe
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
