Shower tray repair for Sole Street homes

Shower tray repair in Sole Street, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix chips on the edges and damage around the waste, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Sole Street

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Sole Street

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. 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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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 can be filled and matched.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
