Shower tray repair near Bromley Common

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Shower tray repair in Bromley Common without replacing anything

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 acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in Bromley Common

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions from Bromley Common

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Bromley Common?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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