Shower tray repair near Knowle

Shower tray repair at your home in Knowle

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Knowle

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Knowle?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Knowle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Do you need shower tray repair in Knowle?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Knowle, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
