About our shower tray repair in New Islington
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chips on the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in New Islington
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in New Islington.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What else we do in New Islington
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
When to call us in New Islington
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
