About our shower tray repair in Monkhams

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Repairing versus replacing in Monkhams

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Monkhams. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlord and trade work in Monkhams

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Monkhams, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we are called out for in Monkhams

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

Common questions in Monkhams

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
