Shower tray repair for Knox homes

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Shower tray repair in Knox without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Knox. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knox use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we’re called out for in Knox

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Knox

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Knox.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work in Knox?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Knox. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knox. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
