Shower tray repair near Murston

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Shower tray repair in Murston, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, in enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Questions from Murston

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Murston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What we are called out for in Murston

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
