- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Shower tray repair at your home in Nettlestead
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nettlestead
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nettlestead as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Nettlestead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Nettlestead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
Common questions in Nettlestead
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
