Shower tray repair in Bishopstone

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Shower tray repair at your home in Bishopstone

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishopstone

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

Bishopstone: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Bishopstone?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Bishopstone?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bishopstone and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What affects the price in Bishopstone

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bishopstone. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. 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
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
