Shower tray repair for Cannon's Green homes

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When to call us in Cannon's Green

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cannon's Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Cannon's Green

Do you cover Cannon's Green?

We do. Technicians travel to Cannon's Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What do you need from me?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

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

Materials we work on in Cannon's Green

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What affects the price in Cannon's Green

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

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 it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
