How we handle shower tray repair in Kitwood
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface.
Rural addresses like Kitwood just need a little planning, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Kitwood
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Facilities teams at buildings such as Four Marks Church of England Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Landlord and trade work in Kitwood
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Kitwood
Do you work for schools and businesses in Kitwood?
Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Will you travel to Kitwood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Kitwood?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Somewhere like Kitwood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kitwood. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Replacement in Kitwood means trades, travel and waste removal, while shower tray repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
