Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Bonnington

If you manage property in Bonnington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Common questions in Bonnington

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not 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 across Kent.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Repair or replace in Bonnington?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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