Shower tray repair in East Ham

Shower tray repair in East Ham without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a crack across the base.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in East Ham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your E6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Do you need shower tray repair in East Ham?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Choosing a repair company

East Ham: your questions answered

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Everywhere in the UK, East Ham included. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you work in East Ham?

We do. Technicians travel to East Ham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray

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. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
