Shower tray repair in Keills

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Shower tray repair in Keills without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a damaged area around the waste, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Keills questions

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Keills?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can I use the shower again?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you work in Keills?

We do. We send a technician to Keills for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Common problems we fix in Keills

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Keills?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Keills. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
