Shower tray repair in Harringay, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Harringay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Most customers in Harringay get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Harringay
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
When to call us in Harringay
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
