Shower tray repair in Upstreet without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Upstreet. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Upstreet and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Upstreet
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Look out for these signs:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
