Shower tray repair in Kimbolton without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and scratches from cleaning or grit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Kimbolton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Kimbolton

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
