Shower tray repair for Cuddington homes

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it. In a smaller place like Cuddington, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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 usually be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Shower tray repair in Cuddington without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Around Cuddington, bungalows and family homes often have walk-in showers. If the tray is firm, any crack or chip can be repaired in place.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. If your shower tray in Cuddington is sound, a repair is generally the better choice.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cuddington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Cuddington

I let a flat near Cuddington station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, we often work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.

Do you work for schools and businesses in Cuddington?

Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. We will agree timings that suit the building.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
