Shower tray repair in Orpington without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
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 or gets worse.
What affects the price in Orpington
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Orpington
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Orpington included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need shower tray repair in Orpington?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Chipped corners or rims
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Landlord and trade work in Orpington
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
