Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Do you need shower tray repair in Crouch End?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Crouch End

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself 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 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. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Crouch End questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Crouch End?

We do. We send a technician to Crouch End for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
