Shower tray repair for Coldred homes

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Shower tray repair in Coldred, done in place

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 work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Coldred

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Coldred. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Coldred

  • Ceramic

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we are called out for in Coldred

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Do the materials smell?
