About our shower tray repair in Force Green

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you have chips caused during fitting and chips on the edges, we can help, whatever the material.

In Force Green, many showers are in flats and conversions, where a leak from a cracked tray can soon reach the flat below. That makes a quick repair and a fresh seal worth arranging.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Force Green and across Greater London.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Force Green

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included. In a London neighbourhood like Force Green, we sort parking first: a permit or bay close to the door helps. The shower tray repair itself happens in the room, with nothing carried out.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Force Green

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Force Green

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. In a London home like many in Force Green, 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Force Green questions

Is it hard to park for a visit in Force Green?

Usually it’s fine with a little planning: just mention bays, permits or off-street space when you book.

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

Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Common problems we fix in Force Green

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Landlords with property near Oxted station (about 3.8 miles south-west) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.
