Repairing versus replacing in City of London

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in City of London

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
