Shower tray repair in Sutton, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Questions from Sutton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Are there extra charges for Sutton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Sutton?

We do. We send a technician to Sutton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the whole UK, including Sutton and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sutton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
