Shower tray repair for South Malling homes

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Shower tray repair at your home in South Malling

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in South Malling

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.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for South Malling

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in South Malling?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN7 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you work in South Malling?

We do. We send a technician to South Malling for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
