Shower tray repair at your home in Upper Norwood
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Upper Norwood
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Upper Norwood questions
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upper Norwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
