Trusted shower tray repair in Alfold

Shower tray repair in Alfold, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Alfold and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Alfold questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Alfold

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
