Shower tray repair near West Kingston

Shower tray repair in West Kingston without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and damage from a refit or building work.

Every job is backed for twelve months in West Kingston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

West Kingston: your questions answered

How much does shower tray repair cost in West Kingston?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need shower tray repair in West Kingston?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Kingston

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
