How we handle shower tray repair in Merton

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Merton

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Merton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Merton and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Merton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repairing versus replacing in Merton

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Merton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Common problems we fix in Merton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
