Shower tray repair near Harlington

Shower tray repair at your home in Harlington

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Harlington

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Harlington

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Harlington?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LU5 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Central Bedfordshire.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
