Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Mile Oak, Kent
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Mile Oak and across Kent. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Mile Oak
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
