Shower tray repair near South Acton

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

About our shower tray repair in South Acton

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we are called out for in South Acton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

South Acton: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.
