Shower tray repair for Sutton homes

Shower tray repair in Sutton, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Materials we work on in Sutton

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Sutton

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sutton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you come to Sutton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sutton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Sutton?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
