Shower tray repair in East Kyo

Repairing versus replacing in East Kyo

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.
