Trusted shower tray repair in Kirby Knowle

Shower tray repair in Kirby Knowle without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Kirby Knowle

Are there extra charges for Kirby Knowle?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
