How we handle shower tray repair in Chevening

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chevening

Will you leave a mess?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Do you work in Chevening?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Chevening and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Chevening

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we are called out for in Chevening

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Chevening

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

If you are in Chevening and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
