Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Shower tray repair at your home in Yalding

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Yalding

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can I use the shower again?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you work in Yalding?

We do. Technicians travel to Yalding from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yalding as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Yalding, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Yalding

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Yalding. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Yalding. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
