About our shower tray repair in Northwood

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common problems we fix in Northwood

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Northwood

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

If you are in Northwood and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Northwood: your questions answered
