About our shower tray repair in Compton

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlord and trade work in Compton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What affects the price in Compton

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Compton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Compton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Compton

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
