Trusted shower tray repair in Horns Green

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

About our shower tray repair in Horns Green

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Horns Green

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Horns Green

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horns Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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

What we’re called out for in Horns Green

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Horns Green, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
