Shower tray repair near Addington

Shower tray repair at your home in Addington

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that flexes.

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Addington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Addington

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

When to call us in Addington

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Addington. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
