For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

What we are called out for in Kilndown

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Repair or replace in Kilndown?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kilndown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Kilndown questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Kilndown and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
