Shower tray repair near Crowhurst

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crowhurst as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Shower tray repair in Crowhurst, done in place

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and damage around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Crowhurst

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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’ll say so.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TN33 postcode.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crowhurst. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

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

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we work on in Crowhurst

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
