Shower tray repair for Bow homes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

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

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle shower tray repair in Bow

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

Bow questions

Do you cover Bow?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bow. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Bow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we’re called out for in Bow

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Common reasons people in Bow contact us are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
