How we handle shower tray repair in Tatsfield

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Tatsfield?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Tatsfield: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What affects the price in Tatsfield

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Tatsfield and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Tatsfield

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There’s 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 quote.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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