Shower tray repair near West Hendon

Shower tray repair in West Hendon, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in West Hendon

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Hendon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in West Hendon

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
