How we handle shower tray repair in Kirbister
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common questions in Kirbister
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repair or replace in Kirbister?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Kirbister
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
