Shower tray repair for Wouldham homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Wouldham

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wouldham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common problems we fix in Wouldham

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Wouldham: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Medway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
