Shower tray repair near Upper Kingston

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

About our shower tray repair in Upper Kingston

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

Common questions in Upper Kingston

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you come to Upper Kingston?

We do. We send a technician to Upper Kingston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Upper Kingston

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
