About our shower tray repair in Kippington

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What affects the price in Kippington

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: 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 price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Kippington customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Kippington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

Questions from Kippington

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you work in Kippington?

We do. Technicians travel to Kippington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How soon can you come?

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

What we’re called out for in Kippington

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
