Advice
About our shower tray repair in Sydenham
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Sydenham
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Sydenham?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX39 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Sydenham. Prices do not change with location.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Sydenham?
We do. We send a technician to Sydenham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you need shower tray repair in Sydenham?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
