About our shower tray repair in Badlesmere

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Badlesmere

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Badlesmere?

We do. We send a technician to Badlesmere for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What affects the price in Badlesmere

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Badlesmere. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
