Damaged shower tray in Fairlop? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage around the waste

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
About our shower tray repair in Fairlop
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Fairlop
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional 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 typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Fairlop?
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched

Common questions in Fairlop
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
