Trusted shower tray repair in Laytham

Shower tray repair at your home in Laytham

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Laytham

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Laytham

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Laytham clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Landlord and trade work in Laytham

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

FAQs for Laytham

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Laytham?

We do. Technicians travel to Laytham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What affects the price in Laytham

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
