Shower tray repair for Hillingdon homes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we handle shower tray repair in Hillingdon

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Hillingdon

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

When to call us in Hillingdon

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work 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 how to care for it.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your UB10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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