Shower tray repair in Pimlico without replacing anything

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. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pimlico as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When to call us in Pimlico

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Pimlico

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Pimlico: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
