Trusted shower tray repair in Long Ditton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Long Ditton

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Long Ditton

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Ditton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Long Ditton. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
