Shower tray repair in Seven Dials, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray, we can typically put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What else we do in Seven Dials
Do you need shower tray repair in Seven Dials?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
