What affects the price in New Eltham

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including New Eltham. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Shower tray repair in New Eltham, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and chips on the edges, across ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

New Eltham questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

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

Will there be a smell?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in New Eltham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Eltham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need shower tray repair in New Eltham?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
