Shower tray repair for Fish Island homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fish Island

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Shower tray repair at your home in Fish Island

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We are frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

Common problems we fix in Fish Island

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

FAQs for Fish Island

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How soon can you come?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Fish Island

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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