Shower tray repair in Harling Road without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- 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
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harling Road as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Common questions in Harling Road
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
