About our shower tray repair in Shottenden

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shottenden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

Questions from Shottenden

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Shottenden?

We do. Technicians travel to Shottenden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Across the UK, and that includes Shottenden. Prices do not change with location.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
