Shower tray repair in Kendal, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kendal

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need shower tray repair in Kendal?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kendal. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Common questions in Kendal

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Kendal?

We do. Technicians travel to Kendal from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Kendal?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Kendal. Prices don’t change with location.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
