What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Knole, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair at your home in Knole

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray, in acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knole

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knole as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Knole

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

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 we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Knole

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover Knole?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Knole and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re 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.
