Signs you need shower tray repair in Kirby Muxloe

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Kirby Muxloe

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kirby Muxloe. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirby Muxloe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
