Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need shower tray repair in Knotty Ash?

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For a price in Knotty Ash, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What affects the price in Knotty Ash

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Knotty Ash questions

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
