Shower tray repair in Crayford without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Crayford: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will it make a mess?

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

When can I use the shower again?

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

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover Crayford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Crayford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Crayford

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
