About our shower tray repair in Ilford
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and movement when you stand on it, we can help.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Questions from Ilford
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ilford. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Common problems we fix in Ilford
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include

- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Landlord and trade work in Ilford
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
