A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

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

Shower tray repair in Kingsnorth, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our pricing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Kingsnorth

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Kingsnorth

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Kingsnorth?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
