Shower tray repair for Rowthorne homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Rowthorne

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rowthorne as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Rowthorne questions

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Rowthorne?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Rowthorne

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
