Shower tray repair in Upton, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and chips caused during fitting, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Upton
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Upton and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you cover Upton?
We do. We send a technician to Upton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What affects the price in Upton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we are called out for in Upton
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
