Shower tray repair in Colindale, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and staining and dullness across the tray.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our full price list.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Colindale?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Colindale

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Colindale. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

FAQs for Colindale

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after 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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
