How we handle shower tray repair in Tovil
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common questions in Tovil
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you come to Tovil?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tovil and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Common problems we fix in Tovil
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage from a refit or building work

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
