DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Shower tray repair in Kilby Bridge without replacing anything
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are often asked to fix a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kilby Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Kilby Bridge: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Kilby Bridge. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
