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

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Dunbridge

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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

What we are called out for in Dunbridge

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Dunbridge and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Advice

Dunbridge questions

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

Across the UK, so Dunbridge is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Repair or replace in Dunbridge?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

Take a look at our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
