What we are called out for in Chartham

Customers usually contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
