Shower tray repair for Sutton homes

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Shower tray repair in Sutton, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Sutton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Repair or replace in Sutton?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Questions from Sutton

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
