Shower tray repair in Rush Green

Shower tray repair at your home in Rush Green

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rush Green

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rush Green. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Rush Green

Do you come to Rush Green?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rush Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Rush Green and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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 the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
