Shower tray repair in Congelow, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and chips caused during fitting, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Congelow

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Congelow. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Congelow: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Are there extra charges for Congelow?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to Congelow?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Congelow. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Congelow

If you manage property in Congelow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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