Shower Tray Repair in London

How we handle shower tray repair in London

For a crack repair to last, the tray has to be solid underfoot, and we check that before we start. The tray stays in place, so the tiles and shower enclosure stay as they are. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and dull patches and cracks in the base.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in London

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works

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

  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, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in London

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips, and dull patches from limescale and cleaning.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A worn, rough surface
  • Chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches and dull patches
  • Stains where water pools

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

Common questions in London

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is properly supported. If it flexes, the support needs fixing first.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords and businesses in London book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
