We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mile End

For anyone letting property in or around Mile End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your E3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
