About our shower tray repair in Poplar
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Poplar and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Poplar
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Poplar?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Poplar. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Common problems we fix in Poplar
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Poplar get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Poplar
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
