How we handle shower tray repair in Whitstable
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a dull, stained or worn surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. 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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
