Landlord and trade work in Southgate
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Shower tray repair in Southgate without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southgate as everywhere else we work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Southgate
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
