Shower tray repair near Knaith

Shower tray repair in Knaith without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Knaith get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Knaith questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Knaith?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knaith

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Knaith

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:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
