Shower tray repair for Godolphin Cross homes

About our shower tray repair in Godolphin Cross

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, across acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Do you need shower tray repair in Godolphin Cross?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Godolphin Cross, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Godolphin Cross

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Godolphin Cross?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Landlord and trade work in Godolphin Cross

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
