Shower tray repair in Beckton without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Beckton
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it

What affects the price in Beckton
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Beckton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Beckton
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
