Shower tray repair for Brompton homes

Shower tray repair in Brompton without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Brompton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace in Brompton?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

What affects the price in Brompton

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When to call us in Brompton

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Brompton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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 the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Brompton

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.
