How we handle shower tray repair in Nettleden

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nettleden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Nettleden

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

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

FAQs for Nettleden

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’re 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.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
