Shower tray repair in Broxted

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Shower tray repair in Broxted, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

FAQs for Broxted

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
