Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Shower tray repair in Boreham without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Questions from Boreham
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Boreham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Boreham?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boreham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
