Shower tray repair in Broadstairs

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

Shower tray repair in Broadstairs, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Broadstairs and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Broadstairs

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

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

Questions from Broadstairs

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What information do you need?

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

Is it messy?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
