Shower tray repair at your home in Victoria Park

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. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface.

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

For a price in Victoria Park, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Victoria Park questions

Do you cover Victoria Park?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Victoria Park for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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 can be filled and matched.

When to call us in Victoria Park

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
