Shower tray repair in Holloway without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Holloway as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What else we do in Holloway
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

- Cast iron
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Holloway
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Holloway
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
