Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

About our shower tray repair in Charlton

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 explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Charlton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Charlton

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Charlton. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Charlton: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Charlton.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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