What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Horden

When can I use the shower again?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to Horden?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horden for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Do you need shower tray repair in Horden?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
