Need shower tray repair in Whiterock?

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in Whiterock, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whiterock as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

What we’re called out for in Whiterock

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repair or replace in Whiterock?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
