How we handle shower tray repair in Upper Street
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Upper Street
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Ceramic

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
