Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Ide Hill, Kent
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Ide Hill and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
About our shower tray repair in Ide Hill
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ide Hill
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What affects the price in Ide Hill
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Most customers in Ide Hill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ide Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ide Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
