Trusted shower tray repair in Bekesbourne

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we handle shower tray repair in Bekesbourne

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Bekesbourne

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Common problems we fix in Bekesbourne

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
