How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Acton

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Acton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your W3 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Acton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Acton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
