Shower tray repair in Waterloo

Shower tray repair at your home in Waterloo

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Waterloo, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Questions from Waterloo

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Waterloo, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

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.
