Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Knightsmill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Knightsmill

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you come to Knightsmill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Knightsmill. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Knightsmill included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Knightsmill. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Knightsmill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
