Shower tray repair near Kensal Rise

Shower tray repair at your home in Kensal Rise

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and a tray that flexes.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Kensal Rise questions

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Kensal Rise

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.
