Trusted shower tray repair in Mile End

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Shower tray repair in Mile End, done in place

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We are frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Mile End: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need shower tray repair in Mile End?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
