Beckhithe: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Beckhithe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Beckhithe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Beckhithe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beckhithe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Beckhithe
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
