Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Kingston: your questions answered

Do you work in Kingston?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kingston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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.
