Shower tray repair near Coleman's Hatch

Shower tray repair in Coleman's Hatch without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coleman's Hatch

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coleman's Hatch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we are called out for in Coleman's Hatch

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Coleman's Hatch and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our prices page.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
