Shower tray repair for Kettering homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Kettering

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kettering as everywhere else we work.

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Kettering

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

Kettering: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Kettering. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
