Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

About our shower tray repair in Kingskettle

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kingskettle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kingskettle

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Fife, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Kingskettle

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

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’re doing. Most jobs take 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 check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
