About our shower tray repair in Markbeech

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Markbeech and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What affects the price in Markbeech

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Markbeech. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

Do you need shower tray repair in Markbeech?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Markbeech

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is repairing better 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.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Markbeech as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
