FAQs for West Knighton
How much does shower tray repair cost in West Knighton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE2 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Knighton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Knighton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in West Knighton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace in West Knighton?

Signs you need shower tray repair in West Knighton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What affects the price in West Knighton
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
