Shower tray repair in Sydenham

Shower tray repair at your home in Sydenham

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Sydenham?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sydenham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Sydenham

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Sydenham: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

Everywhere in the UK, Sydenham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Sydenham?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What affects the price in Sydenham

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
