Shower Tray Repair in Knowsley

Shower tray repair across Knowsley: what to expect

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not 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. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What affects the price in Knowsley

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need shower tray repair

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims

Landlord and trade work in Knowsley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knowsley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Knowsley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

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 frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Knowsley

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover Knowsley?

We do. We send a technician to Knowsley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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