Trusted shower tray repair in Cheam

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Shower tray repair in Cheam without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Cheam questions

Do you work in Cheam?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cheam for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cheam. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cheam use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Cheam

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
