How we handle shower tray repair in Aldington

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and cracks running from the waste, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we’re called out for in Aldington

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What affects the price in Aldington

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Aldington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aldington: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Aldington?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
