Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Shower tray repair in Kirmington without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lincolnshire.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Kirmington

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kirmington

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What affects the price in Kirmington

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kirmington. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Kirmington get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Kirmington

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you cover Kirmington?

We do. We send a technician to Kirmington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
