If you've discovered damage to your shower tray in Bromley, you're not alone - thousands of Victorian conversions, 1930s semis, and modern apartments across BR1 to BR7 experience common shower tray problems every year. Whether it's a hairline crack in a resin tray near Bromley South station, chips in an acrylic unit in Chislehurst, or stubborn stains in ceramic trays throughout Bickley, our shower tray repair Bromley service provides professional solutions backed by 30 years' experience and a full 12 months warranty.
The diverse housing stock across Bromley borough - from period properties in Sundridge Park to new developments near The Glades shopping centre - means we encounter every type of shower tray damage imaginable. Many homeowners in areas like Shortlands, Hayes, and Petts Wood assume replacement is their only option when they spot damage. However, professional repair saves typically 70-80% compared to full replacement costs, completes in just 2-3 hours, and comes with our comprehensive warranty covering all BR postcodes.
With over 30 years serving Bromley, we've identified specific damage patterns across different property types. Victorian and Edwardian conversions around Bromley Common and Plaistow often feature older ceramic trays prone to crazing and surface cracks. The weight of cast iron radiators in period bathrooms can cause flexing that leads to hairline fractures, particularly in corner installations.
The 1930s suburban expansion areas - including much of Orpington, St Paul's Cray, and West Wickham - typically have acrylic shower trays that suffer from impact chips. These often occur near the shower screen edge where bottles and razors are dropped. The acrylic yellows over time, especially in north-facing bathrooms common in these estates.
Modern developments near Bromley South and around Elmfield Park feature stone resin trays. While durable, these crack dramatically when damaged, often running the full width of the tray. The integrated waste systems in these premium trays make replacement particularly expensive - often £800-1200 plus installation.
We also cover smaller areas around Bromley, including Keston, Downe, Cudham, and Leaves Green. These rural properties often have well water systems that can cause specific staining patterns we're experienced in treating.
Our shower tray repair Bromley service covers the entire borough and beyond. From the bustling town centre near The Glades and Market Square to quiet residential streets in Farnborough and Green Street Green, we're never more than 30 minutes away.

With 30 years' experience, we've perfected shower tray repair techniques for every material type found in Bromley homes. Our process begins with thorough cleaning and degreasing - essential for proper adhesion. We use industrial degreasers to remove soap residue, body oils, and limescale that accumulate in shower trays.
For chips and cracks, we apply a flexible polymer filler that moves with the tray, preventing future cracking. This is particularly important in timber-framed properties common in areas like Biggin Hill where slight movement is normal. The filler is colour-matched on-site to your exact tray shade.
Surface preparation involves sanding to create a mechanical key for coating adhesion. We use graduated grits from 120 to 400, ensuring a smooth finish without visible repair marks. All surrounding areas are masked with professional-grade materials to protect your tiles, screen, and waste fitting.
The final coating - a two-part polyurethane system - provides superior durability compared to original gel coats. It's resistant to thermal shock, cleaning chemicals, and UV degradation. This coating carries our 12 months warranty and typically lasts 10-15 years with normal use.
In Bromley's property market, where average house prices exceed £450,000, maintaining bathroom quality is essential. Shower tray replacement typically costs £600-1500 including labour, with additional expenses for tiling repairs, screen refitting, and potential plumbing modifications.
Consider a typical scenario: a cracked stone resin tray in a Beckenham townhouse. Replacement requires removing tiles, potentially damaging the tanked membrane, disconnecting waste pipes through a kitchen ceiling below, and 3-4 days without shower use. Total cost: £1,200-1,800.
Our repair solution: 2-3 hours on-site, no tile damage, waste remains connected, shower usable within 24 hours. Cost: £195-395 including our 12 months warranty. The repair is invisible and often stronger than the original surface.
Environmental benefits are significant too. Manufacturing and transporting a replacement tray generates approximately 45kg of CO2. Repair uses minimal materials, reducing environmental impact by over 90%. With Bromley Council's focus on sustainability, repair aligns with local environmental goals.
A ground floor flat near Bromley Common had a ceramic shower tray with multiple hairline cracks causing leaks to the basement below. The period property's listing meant careful work was essential. We injected flexible sealant into cracks, reinforced with fibreglass mesh, then applied our ceramic-matched coating. Total repair time: 3 hours. Cost: £345. The alternative - lifting Victorian floor tiles for replacement - quoted at £2,400. Our repair remains perfect after 18 months, backed by our 12 months warranty.
A penthouse apartment near Hayes station had a designer black resin tray with a deep chip from dropped champagne bottle during a party. The boutique Italian tray would take 8 weeks to import for replacement. Using colour-matching technology, we recreated the exact charcoal shade, filled the 3cm chip, and restored the high-gloss finish. Completed in 2 hours for £245. The building management now recommends us to all residents, recognising our 30 years' experience.
A busy family in West Wickham had an acrylic tray with severe yellowing and multiple scratches from children's toys. Complete resurfacing transformed the tired tray to brilliant white, with extra non-slip coating for safety. We worked around school runs, completing the job in one morning. Cost: £395 versus £850 replacement quote. Six months later, it still looks brand new - protected by our comprehensive warranty.
Minor Chip Repairs: £145-195 - Small chips under 2cm, common from dropped bottles. Includes colour matching and 12 months warranty.
Crack Repairs: £195-295 - Hairline cracks and fractures, reinforced with flexible compounds. Essential for preventing leaks.
Multiple Repairs: £245-345 - Several chips or cracks repaired together, common in older Bromley properties.
Full Resurfacing: £345-495 - Complete colour change or surface renewal. Popular for yellowed trays in 1970s-80s properties across Orpington.

We also cover surrounding areas including Biggin Hill (TN16), Cudham, Pratts Bottom, and Knockholt. With 30 years serving the area, we know every road and estate across the borough.

The shower can be used after 24 hours - much faster than the 3-4 days for replacement. Our 30 years' experience means we work efficiently without compromising quality.
When properly done, repairs are invisible. We colour-match exactly to your tray using professional tinting systems. The repaired surface texture matches the surrounding area perfectly. Many customers in Bromley can't identify where the repair was made even when they know the location. Our 12 months warranty covers any visibility issues, though these are extremely rare with our proven techniques.
Bromley properties feature many designer bathrooms with unique colours - from boutique hotels near Bromley South to luxury homes in Farnborough. We match any colour including discontinued shades from the 1970s-80s common in Orpington estates. Using spectral analysis, we create exact matches for greys, beiges, and even bold colours like burgundy or jade green.
Absolutely. Many Bromley landlords use our service specifically because it minimises disruption. We complete repairs in one visit, bathroom remains functional (just not the shower for 24 hours), and there's no mess or debris. This is particularly valuable for HMOs around Bromley South station where multiple tenants share facilities.
Yes, we regularly repair shower trays in Bromley's commercial properties including The Glades shopping centre facilities, gym chains, care homes, and hotels. Commercial-grade trays often use specialised materials, but our 30 years' experience covers every type. We offer out-of-hours service to minimise business disruption, with the same 12 months warranty.
In Bromley's older properties - particularly Victorian conversions in areas like Plaistow - building movement is the main cause. Timber floors flex, causing stress cracks. Modern flats near the station may have inadequate support under the tray. Impact damage from dropped items is common across all property types. Our repairs address the damage and often strengthen the tray beyond original specifications.
Since 1994, we've repaired thousands of shower trays across Bromley borough. From period properties in Chislehurst to modern apartments overlooking The Glades, our experience covers every scenario. We've seen how building techniques, materials, and bathroom designs have evolved, adapting our methods accordingly.
Our technicians know Bromley inside out - from the narrow Victorian streets around Bromley North where parking requires consideration, to the modern estates in Locks Bottom with their specific access requirements. This local knowledge means efficient service without delays.
