Shower tray repair near Hendon

Shower tray repair at your home in Hendon

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hendon. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hendon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Hendon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hendon

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Hendon

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hendon

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Hendon?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
