Shower tray repair in Bishop's Stortford without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What affects the price in Bishop's Stortford
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bishop's Stortford, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

See our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
When to call us in Bishop's Stortford
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
