About our shower tray repair in Denham End
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We’re often asked to fix damage around the waste and scuffs and light scratches, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Denham End
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix in Denham End
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
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.
