Shower Tray Repair for Mackney homes
Shower tray repair in Mackney without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Shower tray repair in Mackney without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and damage around the waste.
Rural addresses like Mackney just need a little planning, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What else we do in Mackney
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Older homes around Mackney may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mackney
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. Somewhere as small as Mackney, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare

- Keep a parking space clear if you can
