Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Gubblecote, Hertfordshire
Problem with your shower tray in Gubblecote? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Shower tray repair in Gubblecote, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Gubblecote
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Landlord and trade work in Gubblecote
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gubblecote use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- A fixed quote before booking
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gubblecote. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gubblecote, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
