Book shower tray repair in Addiscombe

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. 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’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

How we handle shower tray repair in Addiscombe

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Addiscombe

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

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Addiscombe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Addiscombe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Addiscombe: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover Addiscombe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Addiscombe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We cover the whole UK, including Addiscombe and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Addiscombe, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
