About our shower tray repair in Brent Eleigh
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Brent Eleigh
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
FAQs for Brent Eleigh
How much does shower tray repair cost in Brent Eleigh?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
