Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Whetsted, Kent
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Whetsted and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Shower tray repair at your home in Whetsted
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Whetsted
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
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?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Whetsted. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Whetsted and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
