Shower tray repair in Southfleet

Shower tray repair in Southfleet, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southfleet as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southfleet use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Southfleet: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
