About our shower tray repair in Kingston

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and scratches from cleaning or grit, in cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

For landlords and businesses

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

If you manage property in Kingston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Do you need shower tray repair in Kingston?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Kingston questions

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
