Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Shower tray repair at your home in Dalston
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dalston
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dalston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common questions in Dalston
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What a repair can’t fix

- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repair or replace in Dalston?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
