Shower tray repair for Eastchurch homes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle shower tray repair in Eastchurch

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Do you need shower tray repair in Eastchurch?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Eastchurch: your questions answered

How much does shower tray repair cost in Eastchurch?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

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.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
