Questions from Great Kneighton
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Shower tray repair in Great Kneighton without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common problems we fix in Great Kneighton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include

What affects the price in Great Kneighton
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
