Trusted shower tray repair in Fitzrovia

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

Shower tray repair in Fitzrovia, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Fitzrovia

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in Fitzrovia contact us are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

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, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Fitzrovia customers choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
