How we handle shower tray repair in Greenhithe

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Greenhithe questions

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Do you need shower tray repair in Greenhithe?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
