Shower tray repair in London

How we handle shower tray repair in London

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 we match the gloss when we repair them.

Questions from London

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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 it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to London. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for London. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in London use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
