How we handle shower tray repair in Lower Hartlip
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Lower Hartlip
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lower Hartlip, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Lower Hartlip
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Hartlip as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
