DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Kingstone: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Are there extra charges for Kingstone?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Kingstone?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kingstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Repair or replace in Kingstone?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

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