Shower tray repair in Harefield without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Southampton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, 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. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Harefield
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions from Harefield

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
How long does it take to cure?
