Trusted shower tray repair in Stepney

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

Shower tray repair in Stepney, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Stepney questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Stepney

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
