Repair or replace in Kemsley?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kemsley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Landlord and trade work in Kemsley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kemsley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Kemsley questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
