Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

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

Shower tray repair in King Cross without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in King Cross?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in King Cross

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
