DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in South Stifford
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to South Stifford. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area

Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?

Advice
Do you need shower tray repair in South Stifford?
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to look after the finish
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
