How we handle shower tray repair in The Knap

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Landlord and trade work in The Knap
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Knap use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairing versus replacing in The Knap
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
