The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Broad Colney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Broad Colney

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Broad Colney

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
