Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kirkland. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

FAQs for Kirkland

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Do you need shower tray repair in Kirkland?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
