Trusted shower tray repair in Shortfield Common

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

About our shower tray repair in Shortfield Common

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and chipped corners or rims, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shortfield Common. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shortfield Common, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Shortfield Common

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Shortfield Common?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shortfield Common and the rest of Surrey. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shortfield Common

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Shortfield Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
