What we’re called out for in Kimbolton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kimbolton. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Kimbolton questions
Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Kimbolton and the rest of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you come to Kimbolton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kimbolton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
