Shower tray repair in Coombe

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our shower tray repair in Coombe

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Coombe

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you charge for travel?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Coombe

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Coombe. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Coombe, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Coombe

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
