Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Shower tray repair at your home in Little Ilford
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Little Ilford
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Ilford. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Little Ilford
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
