Shower tray repair in Hackney without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
FAQs for Hackney
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Hackney?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Repairing versus replacing in Hackney
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Do you need shower tray repair in Hackney?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
