Shower Tray Repair for Charing Hill homes

- Repairs from £95
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle shower tray repair in Charing Hill
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
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 trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Charing Hill questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Landlord and trade work in Charing Hill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charing Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix in Charing Hill
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims

Repair or replace in Charing Hill?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
