About our shower tray repair in Loudwater

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and chips caused during fitting.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WD3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Loudwater

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Loudwater, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Loudwater

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

Choosing a repair company

Loudwater questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
