Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

FAQs for Victoria Park

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When to call us in Victoria Park

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Victoria Park. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
