Shower tray repair in Aldgate

Shower tray repair at your home in Aldgate

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray, in cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Aldgate

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Aldgate, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Aldgate: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

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