Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why South Kensington clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we handle shower tray repair in South Kensington

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. We’re frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around South Kensington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Kensington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When to call us in South Kensington

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price

  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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 usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
