Repairing versus replacing in Southborough
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Southborough: your questions answered
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need shower tray repair in Southborough?
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface

- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
