Shower tray repair in Old Coulsdon without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and chips caused during fitting.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Old Coulsdon and across Greater London.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need shower tray repair in Old Coulsdon?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
