About our shower tray repair in Acton

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Acton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Acton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Acton: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Acton?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN30 postcode.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
