Shower tray repair in Brown Knowl

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Brown Knowl and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Brown Knowl

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brown Knowl. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Brown Knowl clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Brown Knowl questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
