Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Charlton, Hertfordshire
Local shower tray repair for Charlton: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Shower tray repair at your home in Charlton
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims, in enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Charlton as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Charlton. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
