Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in Barnehurst without replacing anything

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Barnehurst

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnehurst use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

What we are called out for in Barnehurst

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Read our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Barnehurst questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Barnehurst?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Different materials, different repairs

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 can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

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