How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Kilmington
Do you come to Kilmington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Kilmington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilmington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Other services in Kilmington
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Kilmington, 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.
