Shower tray repair for Childs Hill homes

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Shower tray repair at your home in Childs Hill

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Childs Hill and across Greater London.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Childs Hill

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What affects the price in Childs Hill

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
