Shower tray repair in Thames View Estate

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair at your home in Thames View Estate

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repairing versus replacing in Thames View Estate

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Thames View Estate

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Thames View Estate

Do I have to be there?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thames View Estate, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
