Shower tray repair in Stone in Oxney, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stone in Oxney and across Kent.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Stone in Oxney

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you work in Stone in Oxney?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stone in Oxney for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Stone in Oxney?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Do you need shower tray repair in Stone in Oxney?

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stone in Oxney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Stone in Oxney

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
