Shower tray repair in Small Hythe without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Small Hythe?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
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 or gets worse.
Small Hythe: your questions answered
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
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 photos.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Small Hythe

When to call us in Small Hythe
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
Comparing quotes

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Small Hythe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
