Shower tray repair in Stroud Green

Shower tray repair in Stroud Green without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking waste fittings

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Stroud Green: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

We work UK-wide, so Stroud Green is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Will it make a mess?

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

How long before I can shower?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stroud Green. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Stroud Green

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stroud Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stroud Green

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we are called out for in Stroud Green

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
