Questions from South Chingford
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in South Chingford?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your E4 postcode.

Shower tray repair in South Chingford without replacing anything
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. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need shower tray repair in South Chingford
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in South Chingford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.
