How we handle shower tray repair in Old Hawkinge
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking waste fittings

- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

What we’re called out for in Old Hawkinge
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste

What affects the price in Old Hawkinge
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise 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.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
