Landlord and trade work in Tonge
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Shower tray repair in Tonge, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste, across ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Tonge questions
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you cover Tonge?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tonge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tonge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Common problems we fix in Tonge
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ME9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
