Shower tray repair in Hackney Marshes

Should you replace it?

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hackney Marshes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Hackney Marshes questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What affects the price in Hackney Marshes

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
