Repairing versus replacing in Petham
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

What affects the price in Petham
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Petham
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work

Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
