Shower tray repair in Strood without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
