How we handle shower tray repair in Summerstown

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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 cause damage underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Summerstown

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Summerstown

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Summerstown questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is it messy?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SW17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
