We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  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 generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to London Colney. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in London Colney and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in London Colney

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in London Colney

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in London Colney

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in London Colney

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in London Colney?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
