DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in East End

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Common reasons people in East End contact us include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for East End

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around East End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
