Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Waterloo

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

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 can I use the shower again?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
