How we handle shower tray repair in Kingsmead

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Kingsmead

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you cover Kingsmead?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kingsmead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingsmead

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
