Shower tray repair for Gravesend homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Shower tray repair at your home in Gravesend

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We are often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, in stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gravesend as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Gravesend

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 is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gravesend as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Gravesend

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Gravesend, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we are called out for in Gravesend

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
