Shower tray repair near New Southgate

Questions from New Southgate

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

About our shower tray repair in New Southgate

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Southgate

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in New Southgate

  • Ceramic

When to call us in New Southgate

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in New Southgate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
