Shower tray repair at your home in Walmer

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Should I try a DIY kit 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Walmer

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re 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.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Walmer

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
