Shower tray repair for Bethersden homes

Shower tray repair in Bethersden, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bethersden. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Bethersden, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Bethersden

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bethersden.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bethersden

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bethersden use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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