Shower tray repair in Rochester without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste, we can help.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Landlord and trade work in Rochester
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Medway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rochester use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What we are called out for in Rochester
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Common reasons people in Rochester contact us include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again

What else we do in Rochester
Rochester: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Medway. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rochester. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
