Need shower tray repair in King's Stag?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common problems we fix in King's Stag

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Common questions in King's Stag

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in King's Stag?

We do. We send a technician to King's Stag for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What affects the price in King's Stag

  • How much damage there is

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
