Shower tray repair in South Kilworth

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Shower tray repair at your home in South Kilworth

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in South Kilworth

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for South Kilworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in South Kilworth

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in South Kilworth

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in South Kilworth

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
