Questions from Kames
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Kames
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kames
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Kames, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What affects the price in Kames
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
