FAQs for Kennington

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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 resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What affects the price in Kennington

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

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally 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. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire 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 next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we are called out for in Kennington

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. 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 frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
