Shower tray repair in Knightley, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
