Shower tray repair for Kingstone homes

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Shower tray repair at your home in Kingstone

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kingstone

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work in Kingstone?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kingstone. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Kingstone

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingstone

If you manage property in Kingstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Kingstone

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: 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:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
