Shower tray repair in Brompton without replacing anything

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 tell you if that is the case. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Brompton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

What affects the price in Brompton

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Most clients in Brompton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Brompton questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you work in Brompton?

We do. Technicians travel to Brompton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Brompton

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Brompton customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
