Trusted shower tray repair in Southfield

When to call us in Southfield

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

About our shower tray repair in Southfield

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Common questions in Southfield

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BB10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Southfield customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
