Trusted shower tray repair in Grove

Grove: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Grove?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Grove. Prices do not change with location.

How we handle shower tray repair in Grove

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Grove

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Grove. The price comes down to:

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

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Grove

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
