Shower tray repair near Kennington

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Shower tray repair in Kennington, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

Kennington: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kennington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
