Shower tray repair in Otford, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and chips on the edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Otford

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Otford?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Otford

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

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. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
