We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boxmoor as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

FAQs for Boxmoor

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

What affects the price in Boxmoor

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Boxmoor and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
