Common problems we fix in Staples Corner

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Most customers in Staples Corner get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Staples Corner questions

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Staples Corner?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace in Staples Corner?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

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.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
