Shower tray repair for Keiss homes

Shower tray repair in Keiss without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Keiss as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Keiss get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

Keiss: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Keiss included. Travel is included in the price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Keiss

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
