Shower tray repair near Knotford

How we handle shower tray repair in Knotford

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Knotford

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Knotford

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we work on in Knotford

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Knotford: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Knotford included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Knotford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Knotford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Knotford?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
