Shadwell questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Shadwell?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SE16 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice

Also in Shadwell
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
