Shower tray repair in Downham, 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 repair lasts. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and damage around the waste, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
Around Downham, plenty of shower trays are in flats, where a leak from a cracked tray can soon reach the flat below. It’s worth getting a crack seen to early.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Downham
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. In a London home like many in Downham, replacing a shower tray also means getting the old one out and the new one in, frequently up stairs, plus parking for the fitters and room for any waste. A repair sidesteps it.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
