Shower tray repair at your home in Hackney Central

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix chips on the edges and a cracked shower tray, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hackney Central?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

Hackney Central questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hackney Central. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
