The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Chatham Green questions

Do you come to Chatham Green?

We do. Technicians travel to Chatham Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CM3 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Are there extra charges for Chatham Green?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chatham Green. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Common problems we fix in Chatham Green

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Chatham Green

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
