Your questions about shower tray repair in Islington
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Islington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlord and trade work in Islington
If you manage property in Islington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
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’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we are called out for in Islington
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
