Little Wakering: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Can pets and children be at home?

Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Little Wakering, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
