About our shower tray repair in Kilkerran

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and damage around the waste, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Kilkerran: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
