St Paul's Cray questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in St Paul's Cray

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to St Paul's Cray. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
