Shower tray repair for Elham homes

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

About our shower tray repair in Elham

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Stained shower tray resurfaced to clean white, before and after

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Elham

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Are you accredited?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need shower tray repair in Elham?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Elham

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
