Shower tray repair for Neames Forstal homes

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

About our shower tray repair in Neames Forstal

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and movement when you stand on it, in ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Neames Forstal

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Neames Forstal is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
