How we handle shower tray repair in Great Kimble

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and damage around the waste, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

Common questions in Great Kimble

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Great Kimble?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Kimble and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

Common problems we fix in Great Kimble

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Aftercare advice

Repairing versus replacing in Great Kimble

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Kimble

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.
