Shower tray repair in Wallington

Shower tray repair at your home in Wallington

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wallington and across Hertfordshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Wallington

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
