Shower tray repair in Burnt Oak without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We are frequently asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Burnt Oak 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.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

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

FAQs for Burnt Oak

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
