How we handle shower tray repair in Chiddingstone Causeway

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

Do you need shower tray repair in Chiddingstone Causeway?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

What affects the price in Chiddingstone Causeway

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chiddingstone Causeway. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Chiddingstone Causeway, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chiddingstone Causeway

Will there be a smell?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Chiddingstone Causeway and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
