Repair or replace in Apsley End?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Apsley End: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do you need shower tray repair in Apsley End?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
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.
