How we handle shower tray repair in Hempsted

Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Hempsted questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Hempsted get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Hempsted
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
