Need shower tray repair in Lydd-on-Sea?

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and a crack across the base, in enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

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

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need shower tray repair in Lydd-on-Sea?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims

Lydd-on-Sea questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Lydd-on-Sea?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What happens next?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Lydd-on-Sea?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Lydd-on-Sea from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
