Shower tray repair in Littlestone-on-Sea, done in place

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Landlord and trade work in Littlestone-on-Sea

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
