Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Gustard Wood, Hertfordshire
Local shower tray repair for Gustard Wood: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What affects the price in Gustard Wood
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Gustard Wood get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Gustard Wood
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Signs you need shower tray repair in Gustard Wood
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
Repairing versus replacing in Gustard Wood
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gustard Wood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
