Shower tray repair for Kingsteps homes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Shower tray repair in Kingsteps without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kingsteps questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What affects the price in Kingsteps

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

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 price the job.
