Shower tray repair for Kirby Hill homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Kirby Hill. The price reflects:

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

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirby Hill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Kirby Hill

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 a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Kirby Hill?

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

Common problems we fix in Kirby Hill

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
