Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in East Town

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

East Town questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
