DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Knave-Go-By, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings

- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
What affects the price in Knave-Go-By
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Knave-Go-By: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repair or replace in Knave-Go-By?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
