Shower tray repair in Kemsing without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Kemsing

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Landlord and trade work in Kemsing

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Kemsing, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Questions from Kemsing

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Kemsing?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kemsing and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kemsing, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kemsing. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Kemsing, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
