About our shower tray repair in Wincheap
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, in cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Wincheap
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Wincheap: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What else we do in Wincheap
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Wincheap
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wincheap as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Wincheap?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
