When searching for reliable shower tray repair Merton residents trust, Surface Doctor brings 30 years of proven expertise to every repair. From the bustling town centre near Merton Abbey Mills to the leafy suburbs of Wimbledon Village, we've been restoring shower trays across all SW19, SW20, CR4 and SM4 postcodes for three decades.
The diverse housing stock across Merton creates unique challenges for shower tray maintenance. Victorian conversions in Colliers Wood often feature compact shower rooms where tray replacement would be extremely disruptive, while modern developments near South Wimbledon station commonly have low-profile resin trays prone to flexing and cracking. Our comprehensive experience means we've seen and successfully repaired every type of damage imaginable.
The Borough of Merton spans from affluent Wimbledon to multicultural Mitcham, with each area presenting distinct shower tray challenges. Properties near Wimbledon Common often feature luxury stone resin trays that develop hairline cracks from thermal expansion, while converted flats in Morden frequently have older acrylic trays showing signs of yellowing and surface wear.
Many Raynes Park homes built in the 1930s have been modernised with en-suite shower rooms, but the original floor joists can cause movement leading to tray cracks. Meanwhile, new developments around Colliers Wood tube station often use budget-grade shower trays that chip easily when heavy bottles are dropped. Our 30 years of experience across Merton means we understand these local patterns and provide targeted solutions.

Period Properties (Wimbledon Village, Raynes Park):
These elegant homes often feature heavy cast iron or ceramic trays that develop chips around the waste area. The solid construction means cracks are rare, but the enamel coating can deteriorate, especially in hard-use family bathrooms.
1960s-1980s Estates (Pollards Hill, St Helier):
Original fibreglass trays from this era commonly show stress cracks radiating from corners. The gel coat often yellows or becomes porous, making professional resurfacing essential to restore hygiene and appearance.
Modern Developments (Colliers Wood, South Wimbledon):
Contemporary low-profile trays look sleek but can flex on uneven floors, causing hairline cracks. Acrylic models are prone to scratching, while stone resin variants may chip if heavy items are dropped.
Converted Properties (Mitcham, Morden):
Loft and garage conversions often have lightweight resin trays installed on wooden floors. Movement in the structure frequently causes cracks along the edges where flexibility is limited.
