Shower tray repair near Brixton

Shower tray repair in Brixton, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Brixton

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Brixton

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
