Need shower tray repair in New Street?

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Shower tray repair at your home in New Street

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for New Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

New Street: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
