About our shower tray repair in West Hythe
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and damage from a refit or building work.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Common problems we fix in West Hythe
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

FAQs for West Hythe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, West Hythe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
