About our shower tray repair in Southfields

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and movement when you stand on it, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When to call us in Southfields

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Is my repair covered?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
