Trusted shower tray repair in Chainhurst

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Shower tray repair at your home in Chainhurst

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chainhurst

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

When can you do it?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chainhurst. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
