Shower tray repair in Wapping, done in place

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 repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wapping. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Wapping: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work in Wapping?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wapping. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We cover the entire UK, including Wapping and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Do you need shower tray repair in Wapping?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wapping

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
