Need shower tray repair in Poundsbridge?

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Shower tray repair at your home in Poundsbridge

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Poundsbridge and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What affects the price in Poundsbridge

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Questions from Poundsbridge

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
