What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, 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. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in The Valley

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for The Valley. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not 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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in The Valley

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How much does shower tray repair cost in The Valley?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What we’re called out for in The Valley

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in The Valley

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
