What affects the price in Dymchurch

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

Whether we combine several jobs
What kind of damage it is
How easy the damage is to reach
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
A photo taken from further back
The material, if you know it
Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Shower tray repair in Dymchurch without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

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 typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Dymchurch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

Rinse away soap after showering
Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Questions from Dymchurch

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

We check the tray for movement first.
The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Let us know which floor the room is on
Keep a parking space free if you can
Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

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