Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in New Ash Green?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

Common questions in New Ash Green

Do you cover New Ash Green?

We do. Repair technicians travel to New Ash Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DA3 postcode.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
