Shower tray repair for Kibworth homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Kibworth

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Kibworth

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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

When to call us in Kibworth

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kibworth

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kibworth as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
