Shower tray repair for Herne Bay homes

Shower tray repair in Herne Bay, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

All of CT6 is covered. Whether you live on High Street, Viscount Square and Market Street or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. You’ll find Herne Bay on the A299 and B2205, so it’s easy for us to reach.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Common questions in Herne Bay

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Herne Bay?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

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

Are there extra charges for Herne Bay?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Herne Bay

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What affects the price in Herne Bay

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Herne Bay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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