How we handle shower tray repair in Lower Holloway
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and a crack across the base.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business

Questions from Lower Holloway
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What we are called out for in Lower Holloway
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
