Shower tray repair near Whyteleafe

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How we handle shower tray repair in Whyteleafe

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and chips caused during fitting.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whyteleafe and across Surrey.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Questions from Whyteleafe

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Whyteleafe?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for Whyteleafe?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

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

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive 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. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whyteleafe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.
