Work for landlords and builders

Shower tray repair in Sutton, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and chips on the edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When to call us in Sutton
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
