Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Bow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Bow
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Repair or replace in Bow?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
