About our shower tray repair in Kelby
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Kelby
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
If you are in Kelby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kelby questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Repairing versus replacing in Kelby
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. 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.
