About our shower tray repair in Heaverham

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Heaverham and across Kent.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repairing versus replacing in Heaverham

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Heaverham

How much does shower tray repair cost in Heaverham?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?

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