Shower tray repair in Walter's Green without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface, in stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
FAQs for Walter's Green
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
