Shower tray repair for Kingston homes

Shower tray repair in Kingston without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Kingston

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the entire UK, including Kingston and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kingston.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Kingston

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingston

For anyone letting property in or around Kingston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kingston. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
