Shower tray repair in Maidstone, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can usually put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Maidstone
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long before I can shower?
Usually the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do you cover Maidstone?
We do. Technicians travel to Maidstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Maidstone. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole shower tray
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
