East Taphouse questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Are there extra charges for East Taphouse?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PL14 postcode.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in East Taphouse and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Signs you need shower tray repair in East Taphouse
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
