Shower tray repair in Herne

How we handle shower tray repair in Herne

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What we are called out for in Herne

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Herne

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Questions from Herne

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Do you come to Herne?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Herne and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What affects the price in Herne

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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