Shower tray repair at your home in Sutton

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sutton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you work in Sutton?

We do. Technicians travel to Sutton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

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

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

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.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.
