Need shower tray repair in South Croydon?

South Croydon: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you cover South Croydon?

We do. We send a technician to South Croydon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How we handle shower tray repair in South Croydon

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. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, in acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

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

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

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

What we work on

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in South Croydon

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
