Shower tray repair in South Ruislip

How we handle shower tray repair in South Ruislip

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and staining and dullness across the tray, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in South Ruislip

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in South Ruislip

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Ruislip as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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

Repairs by material

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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common questions in South Ruislip

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
