Repairing versus replacing in Lydd
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Lydd
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.
Do you cover Lydd?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lydd and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lydd. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What else we do in Lydd
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Lydd
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Look out for these signs:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
