Shower tray repair near East Studdal

Shower tray repair in East Studdal, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and scratches from cleaning or grit, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in East Studdal

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Most customers in East Studdal get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in East Studdal

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Studdal. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
