Shower tray repair near Westham

Shower tray repair in Westham, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole, in ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our full price list.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Westham: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
