Shower tray repair in Gidea Park without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Gidea Park questions
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
