Shower tray repair in London Docklands

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we handle shower tray repair in London Docklands

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in London Docklands as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is 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, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in London Docklands

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How much does shower tray repair cost in London Docklands?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E14 postcode.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace in London Docklands?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Common problems we fix in London Docklands

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
