Your questions about shower tray repair in Warmlake

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Warmlake?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Warmlake. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you work in Warmlake?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Warmlake and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Repair or replace in Warmlake?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
