Babbs Green questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you need shower tray repair in Babbs Green?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
What affects the price in Babbs Green
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place

Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
