What affects the price in Thanington

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thanington. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Thanington?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Thanington customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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

Do I have to be there?

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Thanington

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
