Shower tray repair in Kilnwood Vale, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and chipped corners or rims.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works
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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Kilnwood Vale: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Kilnwood Vale?
We do. We send a technician to Kilnwood Vale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Kilnwood Vale
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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.
