Shower tray repair in West Kensington

How we handle shower tray repair in West Kensington

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in West Kensington and across Greater London.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in West Kensington

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Kensington. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in West Kensington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
