Do you work in Kendal End?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Shower tray repair in Kendal End without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When to call us in Kendal End

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
