Shower tray repair at your home in Swiss Cottage
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price

Advice
Swiss Cottage questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Swiss Cottage?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Swiss Cottage from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Swiss Cottage get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Swiss Cottage
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
