Shower tray repair near Walworth

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go. Many jobs in Walworth are in flats, so we come prepared for stairs and narrow hallways. We bring compact kit, and the room is protected before work begins.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Shower tray repair in Walworth, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Around Walworth, plenty of shower trays are in flats, where a leak from a cracked tray can soon reach the flat below. That makes a quick repair and a fresh seal worth arranging.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Walworth

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

Rented homes near Elephant & Castle station (about 0.5 miles north-west) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Walworth questions

Can you repair shower trays in a rental near Elephant & Castle station?

Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.

Can you fix shower trays at a school or business in Walworth?

Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SE1P postcode.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Replacing in Walworth brings London extras: stairs, narrow hallways, parking for trades and waste removal. Shower tray repair in place avoids all of that.

Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
