Shower tray repair for Tufnell Park homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Tufnell Park

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. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What affects the price in Tufnell Park

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tufnell Park

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, 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. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Tufnell Park

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NW5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

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