Trusted shower tray repair in Kenton

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Shower tray repair in Kenton without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Kenton

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kenton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Kenton questions

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Kenton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When to call us in Kenton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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