Shower tray repair at your home in Plaistow

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairing versus replacing in Plaistow

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Plaistow

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
