How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Charlton. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

About our shower tray repair in Charlton

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Charlton

Your questions about shower tray repair in Charlton

Are there extra charges for Charlton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price
