Shower tray repair for Salehurst homes

Shower tray repair in Salehurst without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

For a rural address like Salehurst, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll plan the visit around it.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Salehurst

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches

If you let a flat or house near Robertsbridge station (about 1 mile south-west), we repair shower trays between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured. In a village or hamlet like Salehurst, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Repair or replace in Salehurst?

The tray is generally 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. In an older home in a village like Salehurst, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Salehurst and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
