Shower tray repair in Hartford End, 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 tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

FAQs for Hartford End
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you come to Hartford End?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hartford End. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What else we do in Hartford End
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartford End
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
