Shower tray repair in Palmer's Green, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Common problems we fix in Palmer's Green
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Palmer's Green: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 photos.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
