Trusted shower tray repair in Belsize

Shower tray repair in Belsize, done in place

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 will explain what we find. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and staining and dullness across the tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Belsize. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Belsize and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Belsize

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.

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Belsize: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Belsize is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
