Shower tray repair in Wandsworth

Shower tray repair in Wandsworth without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we work on in Wandsworth

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

Common problems we fix in Wandsworth

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Wandsworth

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wandsworth

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Wandsworth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wandsworth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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