Shower tray repair in Kedington, done in place

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
