  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Frittenden

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Frittenden. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Most clients in Frittenden get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Frittenden questions

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How do I book?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Frittenden?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
