Shower tray repair in Redbridge, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Redbridge

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Redbridge questions

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover Redbridge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Redbridge. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Redbridge. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Redbridge

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes
