Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

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

About our shower tray repair in Royal Docks

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Royal Docks

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Royal Docks?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E16 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Do you work in Royal Docks?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Plumbing leaks under the tray
A tray that moves underfoot
Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

Stone resin
Acrylic
Enamelled steel

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

First, we check whether the tray moves.
We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
