Shower tray repair at your home in Knockin
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and a tray that flexes, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Knockin and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knockin
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Questions from Knockin
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Knockin.
