Shower tray repair for Coldharbour homes

About our shower tray repair in Coldharbour

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Coldharbour as everywhere else we work.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coldharbour. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coldharbour

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Coldharbour

Can I get a quote without a visit?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Coldharbour?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What we are called out for in Coldharbour

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
