10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Mottingham clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mottingham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mottingham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Mottingham questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
