Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Snaresbrook
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your E18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Snaresbrook questions
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover Snaresbrook?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Snaresbrook. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Repair or replace in Snaresbrook?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
