Shower tray repair in Tower Hill without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Tower Hill

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is my repair covered?

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

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
