How we handle shower tray repair in Kirkbride
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 work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
FAQs for Kirkbride
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Kirkbride. Prices do not change with location.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Kirkbride?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kirkbride for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Kirkbride

- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges

- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repair or replace in Kirkbride?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
