Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we handle shower tray repair in Kinsbourne Green
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Kinsbourne Green
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work

FAQs for Kinsbourne Green
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Kinsbourne Green?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AL5 postcode.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
