Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Catford without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Catford questions

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Catford?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SE6 postcode.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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