About our shower tray repair in Rolvenden Layne

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we are called out for in Rolvenden Layne

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Rolvenden Layne

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Related advice

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. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
