What affects the price in Ottinge
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Shower tray repair in Ottinge, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.

Common problems we fix in Ottinge
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Ottinge
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Ottinge
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
