Shower tray repair for Aperfield homes

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. In flats around Aperfield, replacing can mean noise, dust and permission from the building’s managers. Repairing is much less disruptive.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Aperfield without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. If you have chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

Around Aperfield, a lot of shower trays are in flats, so a cracked tray can mean water through a neighbour’s ceiling. It’s worth getting a crack seen to early.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aperfield and across Greater London.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there. Many jobs in Aperfield are in flats, so we come prepared for stairs and narrow hallways. Everything we need fits in a few cases, and the room is protected before work begins.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Do you need shower tray repair in Aperfield?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Landlords with property near Oxted station (about 4 miles south-west) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Aperfield

Can parking be a problem in Aperfield?

London parking needs a little planning: let us know about permits or a driveway. We will work around it.

I let a flat near Oxted station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes. Send photos and the address, and we’ll quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Aperfield. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
