Shower tray repair in Iden Green

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

About our shower tray repair in Iden Green

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Iden Green and across Kent.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Iden Green

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

FAQs for Iden Green

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Iden Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Iden Green. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise 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 photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

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