Shower tray repair in Avery Hill without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Avery Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Avery Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Avery Hill

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. 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. We check the tray for movement first.
  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 if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
