Trusted shower tray repair in Kew

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Do you need shower tray repair in Kew?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Questions from Kew

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Are there extra charges for Kew?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Kew?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kew

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
