Shower tray repair near Claygate Cross

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Shower tray repair at your home in Claygate Cross

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Claygate Cross and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Claygate Cross questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you cover Claygate Cross?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Claygate Cross. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Claygate Cross and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Claygate Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
