Shower tray repair in Covent Garden, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.

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

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we are called out for in Covent Garden

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

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

  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Covent Garden. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Covent Garden

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Covent Garden

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work in Covent Garden?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Covent Garden. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
