FAQs for Shipbourne
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Shower tray repair in Shipbourne, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and chips caused during fitting.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Shipbourne is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 24 miles away.
Our visits in TN11 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. You will find streets such as Upper Green Road, Upper Green Lane and Back Lane, and we cover them all. We also travel to Budds (1 mile west), Yopps Green (1 mile north), Sheet Hill (2 miles north), Ivy Hatch (2 miles north) and Coldharbour (2 miles south-west).

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need shower tray repair in Shipbourne?
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shipbourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
