Shower tray repair in Kirby Bellars without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirby Bellars. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Kirby Bellars

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.

Kirby Bellars questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LE14 postcode.

Do you work in Kirby Bellars?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kirby Bellars from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirby Bellars

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
