Trusted shower tray repair in Little Acton

Shower tray repair in Little Acton without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Little Acton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Do you need shower tray repair in Little Acton?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Little Acton

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Acton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
