Shower tray repair in West Malling without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we are called out for in West Malling
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to West Malling. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for West Malling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

West Malling questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes West Malling. Prices do not change with location.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
