About our shower tray repair in Gipsy Hill

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. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gipsy Hill and across Greater London.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Gipsy Hill

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Gipsy Hill?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SE19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
