Do you need shower tray repair in Knockholt?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Common questions in Knockholt

Can landlords book you?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Knockholt. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knockholt

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Knockholt. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
