About our shower tray repair in Kniveton

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we are called out for in Kniveton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Kniveton

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. 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 can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
