Repairing versus replacing in New Hythe

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business

Shower tray repair at your home in New Hythe

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims.

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

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around New Hythe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about shower tray repair in New Hythe

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

Do you need shower tray repair in New Hythe?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
