Shower tray repair in Sydenham Hill, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and cracks running from the waste.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

Sydenham Hill questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sydenham Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Sydenham Hill?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sydenham Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we’re called out for in Sydenham Hill

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
