Shower tray repair in Hackbridge, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and staining and dullness across the tray.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Hackbridge
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hackbridge.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We work UK-wide, so Hackbridge is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
