About our shower tray repair in Ayot Green
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can typically put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ayot Green and across Hertfordshire.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Ayot Green
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ayot Green.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ayot Green and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we’re called out for in Ayot Green
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ayot Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

For landlords and businesses
