About our shower tray repair in Camden Town
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage around the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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 remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
