How we handle shower tray repair in Collier Row

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common questions in Collier Row

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Collier Row.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will it make a mess?

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

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Collier Row. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
