Shower tray repair in Newenden without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and damage from a refit or building work.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we work on in Newenden

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common questions in Newenden

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Newenden?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Newenden and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Newenden?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newenden. The price comes down to:

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

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Newenden, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
