When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kalliness

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we are called out for in Kalliness

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Kalliness: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kalliness. The price comes down to:

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

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
