FAQs for Lee
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lee?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Lee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Lee, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What else we do in Lee
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Lee
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
