Kingsdown questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to Kingsdown?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kingsdown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Kingsdown get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Kingsdown
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
Other services in Kingsdown
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
