Shower tray repair in Strood

How we handle shower tray repair in Strood

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’re frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

What we are called out for in Strood

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

Your questions about shower tray repair in Strood

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We cover the whole UK, including Strood and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
