Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Kettle Corner

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Kettle Corner?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kettle Corner. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kettle Corner

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
