Shower tray repair near Bushey

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Shower tray repair in Bushey, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What we’re called out for in Bushey

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bushey. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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 entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for 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 will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bushey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
