Need shower tray repair in Eastry?

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Eastry

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Eastry

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
